Start on second crank

like bedrck said, replace the relay.

Get it correct

I did not say "replace the relay"

What I said was

After you check fuel pressure post the results Keep in mind it could also be a problem with the fuel pump relay on the circuit board in the fuse box

The next time your drive like this and prepare to start the engine, turn the key to "run" but do not crank the engine. Turn it off and repeat. Then try to start the engine.

If it starts, it indicates the fuel pressure regulator is leaking pressure back into the fuel tank. By turning the key to "run" twice, you are enabling the fuel pump to pressurize the fuel rail before you try to start the engine.

After the engine starts - does it run smoothly or rough? If it starts and runs rough, it could indicate one or more fuel injectors are sticking open - allowing raw fuel into the engine when you shut off the engine. If it runs smooth, the problem is probably the fuel pressure regulator which is part of the fuel pump module.

I've tried that. It runs smooth.

So might as well by the fuel pump I guess. But I'm still gonna do the pressure test.

When was the fuel filter last changed??

 

[Harry]

When was the fuel filter

Probably 4 years ago

How many miles on the expy?

REmember the relay back by the spare.

Just curious but what relay is back by the spare??
