My Evo 9 Misfiring. sounding like it has cams.

My Evo 9 with 61k will take awhile to start it will crank for a long time then will start but if I leave the car on the "ON" postion for like 2 min it will fire right up. Car sound like it has cams but doesn't. What can it be?
Fuel pump?
Injectors?
Crank angle sensors?
Coil pack?

Possibly your coil wires gone bad or not mounted all the way in.

Sounds like a Suby? Have you done the Timing Belt job since you are at 61K?

Check your timing and make sure you belt did not jumped a tooth or two...throwing your timing off and sounding like a Suby...

Throw any codes? Check vacuum lines? Boost Leak?

What did you gap your plugs to? Which plugs did you use?

What mods do you have?

Do anything recently to the engine/car?

E85?

Did you do what I asked you to? Get your coil wires or your coil packs checked. Better yet, if you could find someone local who is willing to lend theirs to you.

Did this problem happen and then you changed your plugs or this happened after changing plugs?
