Need help with D

By berg89
- Thu Jan 28, 2010 11:17 pm #171783 I drive my car everywhere, four days ago i stopped at the g.s. to fill up then jumped in my car and started it. then after a second of running it just shut off. After it does this it does not want to run at all. Then if i wait a few minutes it starts. Its done this to me three times in the past four days. Could it be a spark related problem? Any advice would be great thanx.

if it happens during fill up i would say fuel problem. cause once you reales the pressur after taking of the cap, it may pull some of the fuel out the line. :?

Do you have spark? any CELs? Fuel pressure? does the pump prime?
When was the last time you replaced the fuel filter?
