OK, stamp11127, back to your first response to my dilemma (post #2, and a query from roadrunnerkitten post #20)....... "blinking light". I have not confirmed if my anti-theft light blinks during CRANK, NO START.
I need to confirm a blinking light, or not. I have searched, but have not learned to my satisfaction if the anti-theft function resets over time. If so, that would account for
the restart after some (30?) minutes. My problem may not be fuel related at all.....(I'm not the sharpest tool in the box). I may just need to change keys.
Antitheft reset: According to the owner manual there is no delay to insert a new key:
"Automatic disarming
Switching the ignition to the 3 (ON) position with a coded key disarms the vehicle."
Again, I have not found anything fuel related that resets itself.
I have changed ignition keys, and now carry 3 keys (2 with fobs) in the vehicle.
We shall see if the CRANK, NO START problem is solved.
Order for updated junction box cancelled.
