Best Answer

There are several possibilities that might cause hard starting.

1. Not enough fuel pressure. The fuel pressure should measure about 45 psi at the Schroeder valve on the fuel rail. If the pressure bleeds down then the fuel pump has to build up pressure before the fuel injectors will open.

2. A sticky or binding throttle position sensor might cause hard starting.

3. A faulty MAP sensor could possibly cause hard starting.

4. A stuck open egr valve can cause hard starting.

What was the 1984 Chevy Celebrity?

1984 was a good year for the Chevy Celebrity. It was in 1984 that the Eurosport option first came out as well as the introduction of the station wagon. It was the last year of the carbureted "Z' engine. I have three 1984 Celebrities in my collection. One is a standard four door sedan, one is a Eurosport coupe with the "Z" engine and the third is a Eurosport convertible. The convertible version may be one of the rarest Celebrity models produced with as few as 200 being made.
