Starting up

[VinnieV02TA]

So i just got back from my deployment and my wife has keep my car running but she did let it die a few times. Well the last few days my car has been acting up, i go to start it and it will start just fine and i go down the road get out and come back two minutes later and it will turn over but will not start. The battery seems fine it turns over strong. I let it sit for a few minutes and do it again and it starts up like nothing was ever wrong. Any idea what this could be? Spark plugs? Coils?

Sounds like a fuel issue to me

Start by checking the simple stuff. Did you put stabilizer in your gas? If not it could be going bad, get a full tank of fresh and some injector cleaner. Check and clean the air cleaner and MAF screen. Pull the plugs and replace. It is likely that if she started it and let it run a few times the plugs are fouled with carbon since it probably didn't get up to operating temperature at the heads.

Okay i will try all of that i have alot of mods for the car and plugs are one of the things i have bought o i am hoping thst that will take care of the problem

I will suggested to start with a full tank of fresh gas. Replace your fuel filter if you haven't yet. It sounds that it could be fuel related. You can also get a fuel pressure gauge and hook it up when the car won't start to see if you are getting the corect fuel pressure. I believe is between 55 -60 psi. I'm sure someone else can correct me in the fuel pressure if im wrong.

Ya the fuel filter is a cheap easy fix, I would start there first

if the car sat for a while its poss the filter rusted on the inside and is partially plugged. rare but still one of the poss.
