Hi dweb, I was wondering if anyone can help me troubleshoot my starting issues...
99 D1 with 145K miles, drove it close to empty with the low fuel light screaming at me for about 12 miles. Parked it for 3 weeks.
Used it after 3 weeks, started right up with no hesitation, drove it 1 mile to the gas station, put $50 of gas... restarted... just cranking but no go. There's air, there's spark but no fuel along the fuel rail.
Left it at gas station, came back 10 hours later, started no problem as if nothing happened. Got home, parked, restarted, no juice again. Just cranking, but does not start... again, no fuel along the fuel rail.
I seem to be stuck in this cycle, where if it sat for more than 10 hours, it will start, drive normal, but once you stopped, you can't start again until after 10 hours or so...
This is driving me insane...any ideas? Owned this since new in 99, nothing but premium fuel since new. I don't think it's the fuel pump, could it be the filter? relays? Please help! Thanks!
