ok problem,

VS V6 - drives fine any other day then all of a sudden, go to start it, got it started and ran like shit ( like it was running on 2 - 4 cylinders, this is after driving to the servo, go in, got some smokes came back out and that happened ), waited 3 min, started up fine, drove away fine

now tonight, go to crank it over and missed ( you know how ya turn the key but not long enough? well did that lol ) tried to crank it over again and it just kept cranking and cranking and cranking, waited a few min, then it started up fine :confused: anyone got any idea? please lol

im more inclined to think the fuel pump ( only replaced like a few months ago, but could be dodgy ) iv had coil/lead/plug failures before and this is nothing like it, wrong kind of feeling if you know what i mean

yeh could be, but then again if it was a vacume leak it would run like shit all the time lol, but it only does it every now and then, when its not doing it its fine, powerful, drives great lol
