Check your plugs to see if they are fouled at all. With the hard starting I would suspect a bad FPR.

I am one heatrange colder with Autolite 605'*. They are gapped slightly higher than .55, but I do not think they would be the culprit.

Smellbird, with a bad FPR, would I not take a performance hit? But monitoring my RPMs, around 60 mph, they seem to be right around 2000, so I would assume that I am entering overdrive.

What things should I scan for with autotap? And will going to Autozone do any good? Or do I need someone with an Autotap for GM enhanced parameters?
