Quattrotrac

Hey guys. The V8 is having trouble starting when the engine is cold. It takes awhile for it to start, and when it does actually start, it studders and shakes a bit. After presses the accelerator, the car will shake and spudder alot more, but only for an instant, and then the car will rev up and run like normal until the next cold engine start. All tuneup items are up to date, but just incase, I pulled the spark plugs and saw rust on all of them, but the plugs are only 18K kms old, and they're platinum Bosch. I changed spark plug wires, but is there anything else that could cause the plugs to die prematurely? Could the starting problem be fuel related??...all the lines are clean, fuel pump is brand new, filter is about 1 yr old.

Thanks!

But not having one lets me know that any advice I would give would be horse puckey.

Check the audifans.com archives, do a Google search on the site using 'V8' and 'long start' or 'hard start'.

Good luck...
