Re: Hard start

alright, it seams that the engine takes time to start only when it's warm now, seams to fire just fine when it's cold.

Re: Hard start

Drive it a bit, until the engine warms up, then check the ignition coils. They should be warm, not hot. One might be bad.

I'm not sure if you can hear the fuel pump from the inside.

Re: Hard start

Trust me, I can hear the pump loud and clear inside the car :P AAaannd also the car started AGAIN to do a hard start no matter the temperature, cold or hot. The only time it starts fine is if I shut it for a few minutes (around 2 minutes or so) past 10 it has a hard time starting. I was told the check valve inside the fuel pump went bad...guess the fuel isn't staying in the fuel lines maybe, no clue...
