    Trouble starting & not running great

    Need help, My car cranks like its not getting fuel and won't start. I let it sit awhile and it starts right up. Fuel pump is about 4 years old. I can't get it to act up for my mechanic (typical). He cleaned the injectors, the idol control valve and replaced the engine crank sensor today.

    I picked the car up, it started fine. Drove to restuarant with wife and kids, in there hour and a half, come out, car cranks long time before starting idols like crap, bogs and loses some power. Also the "antilock" brake idiot light stayed lit for a mile or so and things smoothed out.

    Could I have a ground issue, relay, pump. What the fuck, I hate fishing expeditions.

    I would look first at the injector harness directly below the throttle body. Very common corrosion issue on late model cars. Use CRC electrical connection cleaner and a toothpick, scrub both sides carefully.

    Closing SOON!
