car has been running great for 2 years. regular oil changes, last tune-up 6 months. Lately, simply cranks over and doesn't want to start. never had to depress the gas to start it, ever, clutch in , turn it over, no problem. NOw...to get out of trouble, I need to depress the gas for ever to start it. Before I get into the fuel filter or fuel pump, I would like your insight.

HI there,

Run a scan first to check for any set fault codes, check fuel pressure & flow, check electrics on an oscilloscope as this will show up any fault with coils etc, start here.

I had already figured a scan, however doesn't it appear obvious that fuel delivery is the problem. Car has 200k and hasn't had a filter for the 75 k. Even fuel pump considering it's age. A scan will cost me 80.00

Do the filter and see how that responds.
