Ok so this is a weird problem but maybe one of you guys have had the same problem or now a way to fix it. On a 1997 LT1 Z28 completely stock except for a stereo ha. Everything works completely fine, Motor runs great, has great voltage, oil pressure, stays cool, basically runs like a champ. The problem is, when you put the key in the ignition then crank the motor to start it, it doesn't want to start on the first time of turning the key. And it doesn't matter if you hold it and keep cranking it, it will not start no matter what. Now then turn the key all the way like you were going to take it out but go again and crank the motor and it starts on the first revolution the motor turns. Every time no matter what. Cold or Hot, it doesn't matter. Weird I know but maybe someone on here has had the same problem. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

fule pressure im guessing.... because the first time you turn the key it does not have enough fuel to start it, and then the second time you do it the fuel pump has worked a little bit more and got more pressure in there. i could be wrong..... thats just what it soounds like. check your fuel pressure

Ok sounds like a plan. Thanks. I kinda thought that maybe that could be the problem but I wasnt for sure. I will go rent a fuel pressure guage.
