Long starts
As stated in another thread the car takes 10-15 cranks before it starts for the first time or when it sits more then a few minutes. When you start it up right away it starts up much faster. Today i noticed when i was filling up gas that alot of air was hitting my hand from the nozzle, the gas nozzle has two vent holes at the top of it and ive honestly never noticed this much air at all hitting my hand so it was very unusual.
Just a little about the car it has new plugs, wires, coil, opti and maf. Also to rule out battery and alternator they were test and we also tried jumping the car just for the hell of it in the begining of diagnosing and it started up 10-15 cranks later so the problem was still there. My mechanic thinks its ignition, i dont think it is the car pulls strong and hard through the rpms with no hick up at all. Only options im thinking is something with the gas tank maybe the evap canister not sure, afpr but im pretty lost at this point and 2 different mechanics are not able to figure it out either.

i took it to this mechanic but he is very lazy both mechanics i took it too. His gauge wasnt working well either. Im gonna buy a filter which is cheap replace it and look for a real mechanic shop and get a good reading on my fuel pressure i use to have the gauge i dont know what i did with it.

to get an idea so if it read 45psi at idle with vac hose off and then after 5 seconds it goes to zero then it would be fpr or injector? just to get an idea. How long does it take to go from 45psi for example after you turn the car off to go back down to zero psi.
