Then when starting it up, I have to press the gas pedal for it to catch, otherwise, it will stop. I think it may be the fuel filter, but if you have another suggestion, please let me know. Again, no sounds, rattles, or bad performance when on the road, it's just when I start it up that I have this problem..and not all the time.  |
Have the MAF cleaned, then check for a intake boots (there are two) for cracks/leaks. Check fuel pressure, and replace fuel filter if over 25K since last change.
