She has some trouble starting
Hey everyone, so i have an 89' cherokee. It had the vacuum disco but i got rid of it. Brand new TPS but its for an auto (i have a manual). She is my DD and she always starts.... Eventually. Im not saying it takes FOREVER, but sometimes (most if the time) she will crank and crank and crank for around a minute give or take. I have found that during cranking if i pump the gas or just put the pedal to the floor it helps fire it up, but there will be a strong smell of gas. Once she fires up it purrs like a kitten. Nothing aftermarket as far as the engine goes. Thoughts?
