Re: 05 Corolla trouble starting

Have someone test the fuel pressure when the engine is off and after it is started. Also, have someone pinch off a section of the rubber fuel return line to see if the pressure loss is from the regulator or the pump. If the fuel pump, fuel filter, or pressure regulator is going bad, then it may take more than one turn of the ignition key to pressurize the system enough for it to start. Hope this helps!
