So after I got the wipers worked out, I decided to support my local tap room and go by some crowlers of local brew. I had fun driving there hitting snowbanks, piles of snow, deep slushy water and generally driving it like the General Lee. I got there no problem, no issues. Parked, went inside to do my business, which took a long time due to the new cleaning standards and then brought my stash to the Disco. I turned the key and it turned over but no start. I tried several times, even giving the gas pedal a quick pump or two, no go. I got out, rocked the car a bit and tried again, no start. For some reason I decided to open the gas cap. I guess to see if I had any pressure built up, but I could not tell. I went back inside and turned everything off, put the key in the first position and I could hear the fuel pump running. I tried again and it started right up, ran a little sluggish and then was fine.
So is this an electrical issue from puddle splashing? If so, what to look for? Or is it a sign of a failing fuel pump or some other intermittent sensor? The PO told me the pump was replaced a little while ago. I regret not trying to listen for the pump the first time but did not. The gauge was reading fine the second time I tried to start it, 3/4 tank, but I did not check it the first time.
Any ideas?
