So I got a 97 965 w/ no trans and a motor with a bad rod bearing to replace my 740. I just got the swapped trans and motor in it the other day and it runs great with one exception. The only problem I have had so far is on cold starts. The motor will never fire up on the first crank when the engine is cold. I have to crank then stop, then it usually will start on the 2nd attempt. If it does catch it is rough for a second before the motor smooths out. I've tried priming the fuel pump multiple times before starting and it doesn't help. Otherwise the car starts up fine if it is still warm. There are no codes being set at the moment. Any ideas as to the cause of this?
