Hey guys it seems I have a little problem with my car that is annoying me like nothing else. After my car sits for about 4-5 hours or more and i try to start it, it will start (sort of) but it gets ready to stall out. Its not miss firing so i don't think injectors. Ive changed the fuel filter and am about to change the coolant temp sensor. I have no codes popping up so im at a loss. Next step ill try is fuel pressure regulator. I have a brand new tank of gas with seafoam in it thats half gone now so it wasn't a crappy tank. Thanks in advanced!!!

I have to cycle my key 2 times on cold starts before I get a solid start... IE key forward, but not starting... hear the fuel pump whine, repeat and start on the 2nd turn.

Then again I have an SVT fuel pump and the P/A.

I'm not sure where my problem lies (if you consider it a problem... to me multiple people same issue = price to pay for power), but I know a few other supercharged people with the same problem.

If yours is stock, then my guess would be the fuel pump.

all you really need to do is turn the key till you hear the fuel pump whine, then turn it on once you hear the whine stop

anyone? could this be a result of not having enough timing and the car is flooding itself?
