Start and die? When I left work for lunch today, I got in my car like usual and started it up. It immediately died. I tried again... same thing. One more time... same thing. I thought maybe it was an electrical issue so I turned my radio off and tried again. It started right up with no signs of an issue.
Any ideas? I've never noticed a single thing mechnically wrong with this car. There's been no signs of anything wrong. No SES light or anything. It wasn't exceptionally cold today either... probably 45-50*.
I just drove it again tonight and had no problem at all. Think maybe it's a fuel issue? Perhaps the pump is going out? I hope not with 60k on the car..

The fuel filter was changed about 1.5k ago. I have run half a can of seafoam through the fuel system since the change. Could that really gunk up the filter that bad? It's not like it's a difficult change but I'd rather not do it again if I don't have to.
I drove it once more tonight and had no issues at all.
