In the last week or so, it cranks for 2-3 seconds before starting whereas it used to start immediately. I installed a new starter 6 months ago as you all may recall. I also installed a K&N fuel filter 10 month ago. No issues until last week.
Research online and on FRRAX is pointing to a fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator. Or the battery. Or the spark plugs. Car runs super fine once started and starts right up once it has been running. If it sits 6+ hours, it'll revert to needing extra time. Suggestions? |

Going to have to put a gauge on it. It started right up on two occasions this morning (Sunday) after sitting since Thursday night.
Then, after letting it sit, I turned the key to position 2 (just before start), heard the fuel pump prime, and then put a large rag in front of the Schrader valve and pushed it in... A few drops dribbled out. If it had 40+ psi in there it would have sprayed or "burst" into the rag more than just a few lazy drips. <sigh> Not looking forward to the job or having to buy the pump because I have a feeling you're all going to say it's the pump/regulator which is all integrated into that single unit.
