I just had @$1900 valve guide job done on my 1996 850 turbo w/150,000mi. Now when it sits for a while 1hr or overnite on the first start I have to crank for a long time to fire. New battery, plugs, wires, fuel filter, oil trap, wtr pump, thermostate, o2, cat, turbo all have been done in last 6 months. I have spent about $6000 on a car I only paid 5500 for 7 months ago. It truly is a money pit.
Any sugestions on the hard start?

Any codes? My bet would be the coolant temp sensor or cam position sensor.

I havn't brought it back to the repair shop, but am tommorrow. Are these codes you are talking about what they would get by putting on computer or something? Also what am I goint to have to pay for this repair? Any ideas? Thanks.
