That's probably the worst of it -- it needs a LOT of juice to crank over to start initially.

Well, add to that the fact that it's not keeping fuel in the injector pump for some reason, and it just makes life a little difficult when the car hasn't been started in several months.
There's an electric pump on the fuel line under the hood, and according to the guy I bought the starter bushing from, who used to be a local dealer, and still does service every day, these didn't have fuel pumps in the tank. He says the injector pump acts as a lift pump from the tank and injects the fuel at the same time.
I'm not sure I totally believe that, but I haven't been able to disprove it yet, either.
