Viper starting hard

[pvggreenville]

I have a 2002 Viper that has 6200 miles on it. It used to start on the first pull when hot but this year it can be anywhere from 1-3 pulls. I apply a small amount of throttle when pulling over which seems to help a little. Any thoughts?

Plug caps

Mine started to do the same thing this year. It is bad if it has been sitting for a couple of hours. I will check plug caps but anything else?

Poor compression!

I think you have a poor compression problem. Usually hard warm starting is a sign your rings aren't sealing properly anymore.

Mine only has 2600 miles and today being 30 degrees out, I had to give it full throttle to start when hot.
