My 05 mt is having problems starting. It will crank and I will have to pump the gas for it to actually turn over. After it starts it smells almost as if there is something burning, but runs fine after it's started.

Background: the clutch burned out a few months ago, before that, the car was running great. I put it in storage while I saved up for a new clutch. It sat for a few months and I had it towed to a transmission shop, where they replaced the clutch. Any ideas on what could be causing this?????

Sorry mods just saw this was 370z tech area

 

Did you put Stabil in the gas tank while the car was stored. I suspect you might have some varnish in your fuel injectors.

 

Nope, i didnt think it would be in storage for that long so i didnt do anything to it. How would i go about fixing it?

 

I would suspect you either need to clean or replace the injectors. You might take it to either a dealer or an independent shop to have them check it.
