Default Car won't start, have to wait about 1/2 hour then it will start.

If I turn the engine off and then start again within 1/2 hour it won't always start. One time the fuel injector switch needed pressing down and it worked, but since then I can't find out the problem.

Pressing the gas pedal fully down seems to help.

My engine management light also comes on and off randomly.

So plan to return to your car 1/2 hour later from now on......


Just kidding..............

You may want to check the pressure at the rail. Also, go have the PCM checked for codes, something should show up if your SES light came on.

Try replacing the ignition relay, it might be getting hot and failing.

Try swapping the ignition relay with the fan relay. It's quick and simple and usually works
