2.5L Lagging to start

I live in florida and i have a 2.5L engine which every day since i got it i think not exactly sure, Lags to start and when i mean Lags it studders dosent fire up right up. I replaced the TBI, all spark plugs and connectors, rotary fuel pump and probably something alse im missing too. Im not sure but everytime i look at my oil pressure gauge its below 40 when im idle and above when running-



Can anybody tell me if this relates or if it dosent can anybody tell me What would it be?

thx!

my is the same way I heard about the oil pressure that you just replace the oil pressure sending unit.

I have the exact same problem and I'm trying to figure out how to fix it right now myself. Hopefully somebody comes up with a cure...

Someone once said that the capacitors in the ecm go bad and that this contributes to slow starting...however, I just replaced my battery cables and now it spends up faster and starts quicker.

that sounds worthy of trying, i guess it would be a combination of everything . Now the Freaking transmission is kicking me to the curb usually when im turning i use second gear well not too long ago when i shift to 2nd and turn it wants to shut off and sometimes it does...

Its just never ends lol

Welcome to the life of Heep ownership

Mine has weird start-up issues too, I think it's starter related for me though. I may replace my battery cables with new ones just cause'.

Where about in Orlando are you?
