this is an old throttle body injected TBI 8v kick.
sounds flooded,
how cold i cold, kentucky is far from me.
if flooded , next time try the ECU trick of pressing gas pedal to floor.
this activates secret unflood mode. (only Bruce Waine , had these put in,hahahah)
this cuts all fuel. (instant start made it worse)
so try that.
one more thing, on an 8v , you might need a new ECT,
on cold days , this sensor can be off after 18 years ,
mileage on car? 50k or 250,000 miles.
this sensor is infamous for lasting only 15years.,
it likes to read colder than truth, this causes the fuel to be excessive and floods.
or
the IAC is clogged and this starves startup air.
a light touch of gas pedal 5% , if allows easier starting , this means car is starving for air, usually a 5% will cause too much air and make starting lean and fail to start.
but if the IAC or IAC thermal are clogged up, then extra air helps (un-naturally).
hope i explained that clear.
?
when it dont start , tell us. we can help.
I place my bet on flooding.
if the above test prove true, then we can work from there.
cheers.
