Starting issues
Hey everyone,
I recently bought my first car, it happens to be a 1993 Maxima. It seems great so far, and runs very well. The only issue I have had with it is that in order to start it cold (when it hasn't run for a few hours, not cold weather), I have to push the gas pedal a little, sometimes pump it. It has always been this way, for the couple months I have owned the car.
This puzzles me, because its a fuel injected car and you shouldn't have to press the gas to get it to start.
The engine has never stalled, not even when accelerating under almost full throttle.
I have been told that the injectors might need to be cleaned with some lucas injector cleaner or something.
If this has anything to do with it, there is also a very slight gassy smell only outside the car when the engine is running. I especially notice this when i get out of the car after turning it off.
Any ideas?
