1992 New Yorker hard starting problem

A while back my 1992 New Yorker started having starting problems, it
would not usually start on the first attempt, but usually would start
on the second or third attempt when cold. A hot engine starts on the
first attempt. I replaced the wires and plugs, but nothing changed. I
feel that the engine isn't getting a rich enough mixture when cold,
and by repeated attempts gets enough gas to finally start. The engine
is a 3.8 liter v6. Other than that there are no other problems. Any
suggestions?

BTW if anyone needs a window regulator cheap ... www.regulatorusa.com
has great rebuilt regulators. The guy has a very very tiny
delapidated store front in Brooklyn NYC and all he does is rebuild
regulators for a living. He has been doing it for 18 years, and
actually puts improvements into his rebuilt regulators. He charged me
$55 for the driver side regulator, and it works great. Nice guy too,
I saw him in person. He is also the same person selling the same
regulators on ebay for $160 ... I guess he figures there is a fish out
there that will bite.

 

Check the fuel press, could be a weak fuelpump, plugged fuel filter.
Put press gauge on the plug on the fuelrail,now turn on the key,DO NOT
CRANK, read the gauge, note the press, (usely reads about 30 lbs)now crank
the starter, press should JUMP to about 50 lbs.
Note: this is how it SHOULD work, if not check filter/pump
