Hard Start / Engine Cuts Off

[bsr2002]

I was having real ruff idling problems for about 4 days, especially at stop lights. When I drive on the highway no problems. Starting the car was no problem.

I could hear whistling sounds while I idled it on my driveway, figured vacuum leak or pcv valve. I replaced the valve and the boot, but still had the problem.

I could still hear whistling sound then I noticed my pcv assembly hose was broken where it branches off to the intake. (See pic)

So I went to dealer and got the tubing. I installed it today. Now I try to start it and it sounds like it's not getting enough gas and it even turned off on me at the store. Once the car is on however, when I'm at a stop light the problem idling is gone.

Any help figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.

Check for fuel pressure at the rail, check for raw fuel in the hose to the regulator, may things can cause extended cranking start with this.
