Re: starting problems

Decided to take it in to have it diagnosed. Mechanic said it was the fuel pump, so I decided to do the job myself. Apparently the part of the pump that maintains pressure in the line, while the engine is off, was broken. That is why it wouldn't start most of the time but would work once the car was running. Tried 2 pumps from the junkyard, neither worked, So I ordered one from NAPA. The mechanic said the Airtex ($281) brand from Autozone and other retailers worked about half of the time. So I ordered a Bosch ($299) from NAPA because the mechanic recommended it. Hope it works.

It won't be in until Thursday. I'll post the results.
