I have yet to diag this problem but looking for some tips.
On cold starts my car will start up fine and run like normal. When I start it to drive from work to the gym (15-20 minute drive on interstate and regular roads)
It will start fine and dandy. But I go to the gym for around 2 hours and come back out. I'll get in and let the pump prime like always but it will take forever to start and eventually struggle to start. It's getting worse by the week and doing it more frequent. When this does occur it's only after sitting for a couple hours to about 4. But once it sits for long periods it's fine. I was thinking it's the regulator in the pump, but it would lose pressure from sitting during a long period.
The fuel pump was replaced by PO, don't know if whole assembly was or just the pump. This was back in 2012, along with cap and rotor.
Any ideas and similar problems from anyone? Maybe the crank sensor is nasty from a couple leaks I'm going to fix when parts come in. But if it was the sensor signal it would prolly throw the CEL, but it's off(knock on wood)
