My 90 323 has a adjusting screw with a rubber cap on it,,located on drivers side on top of intake,,,,I dont have a picture and Haynes does not show/describe it either,,,,I can turn it clockwise and lower rpms and counter to raise,,,what is its function?,,,,I had to replace my fuel pump and filter a few weeks ago and ever since it takes way longer to crank than usual,,,,

I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

It does open and close air intake... that's how it sets your rpm.
Have you thrown some injector cleaner through your fuel tank, just incase some moisture got in your tank or your new pump sucked up some mung.
Also when last have you done a tune up?

I am not familiar with FI, raised on carb models, there was mung in the old fuel filter when I removed it,,,so will run some injector cleaner thru it,,,I also pulled off the dist cap and two of the electrodes had build up on them,,,will replace it too,,,,I got used to the ole car cranking on one spin,,,,,,but with 187K miles on it, i guess I can live with it,,,,,just how long do these motors last? So far I have gotton my 600 bucks out of it,,,,,thanks guys....Originally posted by Shades View Post90 323 bone stockComment

I've got over 350 000km's on my 323 and still going strong.
Sounds like your car is in bad need of a tune up... spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap and rotor. Throw in an oil change too.

Dont Mess With It, It Will Make The Eject Seat Unstable And Possibly Damage The Booster RocketsI live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

My guess would be a bleed out problem... you probably have a small fuel leak somewhere (probably at or around the pump) and when you shut the car off it looses its pressure.
try turning the car to the on position for a couple seconds, turn it off, do it again a couple times. each time the pump will prime, start it and see if it helped at all.There are no stupid questions, just stupid people.Comment
