Sometimes when I start my car, it will start, then the engine will just shut back off? It doesn't happen all the time, but it does semi-frequently. I was just wanting to make sure it's nothing to be worried about. Anyone have any suggestions?

Nobody has had this problem? Stupid question? What?

That's a key point. If it has an extended crank I would suggest something amiss in the fuel system. Time to get a fuel pressure gauge!

You throwing any codes?

When I start it, it will start right up, then shut off just like you turned the key off
and no, no codes whatsoever

I'll suggest my favorite villain of all time, the fuel pump. Starting and then dying almost immediately are the symptoms I dealt with when my pumps failed. Get a fuel pressure gauge and start checking pressure at "ON," running, (if you can start it), and then after shut off...
