Starter cranks for 5-10 seconds?

If nobody comes up with a better idea, I'd check the air filters and then try cleaning the MAFs.

Bought the car with 21k a S immediately added K and N drop ins. I'm now at 25k. Would the MAFs be dirty?

Check and clean the maf's anyway, its super easy, all you need is a screwdriver and a can of maf cleaner. Ive heard tell of people gunking them up by way over oiling their K&N's.

Could be - especially if you have oiled filters. Even with dry filters, the MAFs can get dirty in 25k miles. May not be your problem but cleaning the MAFs is cheap (can of cleaner and a screwdriver) and easy (two screws per MAF, no gasket, about 5 minutes per side).

The filters are brand new and factory oiled, but sounds like it's worth ten minutes of my time.

So......

Dropped her off at the stealership.

They called a few days later: needs a fuel pump. Makes sense I suppose, and since its under warranty who am I to care?

Pick it up today and drive it home.

Park her in the garage.

Work on motorcycles.

Move her out of the garage to wash her.

****.

Its not 5 - 10 seconds now. Its 15 seconds.

Rarely does a shop make your car WORSE post repair, but I suppose I'll be sending her back on Monday.

Irritating.....
