Re: Hard starting

If I start it again right after turning it off, it always starts right away (so far).

Then again sometimes it starts right up after sitting even overnight.

I checked to see if there were any pending OBDII codes, but there are none.

I just put in a bottle of HEET water remover/fuel injector cleaner and filled the tank again.

We shall see.

Could be just wishful thinking, but it's worth a shot and cheap and easy, and it could be some injector mis-spray maybe???

I'm in Southern California so it's pretty dry, but you never know what can get into the underground tanks at the gas station, and it did rain very heavily recently after a very long time of no rain, so.........

I considered buying a fuel pressure gauge to read the fuel rail pressure with, but it seems to me that if it was a fuel pressure issue I'd feel it while driving?

One step at a time I guess. I'll check the EGR soon when I'm not at work.
