My car = No START!!!!
Hi,
So my problems started about 2 weeks ago, Im leaving work and oupss my car cranks but dosent start so I get it towed, the towing brings it to the garage and suddendly when we get there the car starts and drives normally.
So the mechanic tells me he cant do sh*t and its probably a bad luck.
Two weeks later (yesterday) I get out of my house and drive first red light the car shuts down, I turn back the key and starts no problem. I then drove the car all day no problems.
Later at like 9 pm I get in my car try to start the car... nothing ...being pissed I just decide to go to sleep.
This moring I wake up start the car and it works...
soooo any ideas ? Bad fuel pump or Crank position sensor???

WOW!! Thanks for the update. I have 134,000 miles on my car and the fuel pump is still working great. I have replaced the fuel filter twice though just cause I want to make sure that it is clean fuel going into the engine. How much was the pump and labor? You know that it would have been a VERY EASY DIY even though a slightly messy and smelly one right?
