Rough Start - Something Seems Wrong

bclarke22 · 10-07-2010, 03:05 PM

I am having the exact same issue. I've taken the car to the dealer twice - they typically tell me that they cannot duplicate the problem. I drive home, let the car sit - and it doesn't want to start "normally". I spoke with the mechanic (not the service rep) after the second visit. He said that the service rep did not tell him everything I told him; he recommended I make an appointment to leave the car overnight. Mechanic stated it may be a fuel pressure issue. They did a fuel pressure test of some type, called me today stating they are replacing a "faulty" fuel pump. I'll let you know what happens.

BTW - I agree with you about being embarrassed that your sweet looking car won't start normally, especially when people are watching. Happened to me quite a few times.
