91 that won't start

vasteves93 · 03-30-2011, 12:14 PM

I had the motor rebuilt a few years ago and I gave the car to my son. As long as you start the car every other day or so it's fine. But if you let it sit a week or so it won't start unless you pull start it. I have to get it up about 30mph in 2nd gear before it will start. We haven't tried to start for a couple of months now. Could it be losing fuel pressure some how? Sometimes when it starts it will smoke white smoke like its flooded. The battery is new so I know it's okay. The fuel filter is also new. Could the fuel pump be getting weak? Thanks for any help
