weird stuff on startup problem (update)

Original thread here: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=947627

ok, I have found that if I let the car sit in the on position long enough for the electronic fuel pump (I think that's what I hear) to stop, it almost never does the dash flashing thing.

Although I did hear a buzz in the center of the dash the other day and the service engine soon light flickered and the car almost stalled.

Anyone hear of these symptoms before?

Fuel filter will not cause these problems.

Did you check the ignition switch as suggested? A faulty ignition switch can cause all kinds of problems and make you believe you have a fuel related issue. You also could have a bad fuel pressure regulator. If you do a search on "fuel pressure regulator", you should find posts addressing this issue and directions on how to test and replace it.
