- Switch fuel brands. Make sure your fuel has no more than 10% ethanol and is 91+ octane.
- With the foot off the clutch double tap the start button so that it goes to the 'On' mode first which I believe will pressurize the fuel system. Once in this mode depress the clutch and press the button again to start. Same procedure for auto, just substitute brake for clutch.
