I'm not sure here.....

Car started and ran fine for about 5 min. started around 56 psi and dropped to about 51-52 and held that pressure, hickupped and died.... held pressure though. one thing is that the car doesn't do anything when you go to start it sometimes? turn key nothing. then sometimes turn key the starter engages? Plenty of voltage (I have a charger hooked up plugged in and on start) does that mean fuel pump is good? I have never seen something so simple be so confusing? It's not anything mechanical or I'm sure you'd hear or feel something?

Ok well if you are having intermittent key problems, have the system scanned with Xentry for codes.

I'll check and see I guess. I also have a problem with trunk. The soft close closes while key in/out or running but after it fully engages the latch after the soft close, the trunk pops back open? Any ideas there? It's strange how such an extremely engineered car has these crazy miniscule problems. I think that they thought about the cars and mechanics more than who would be owning one. I mean, yes it is an extremely expensive car to work on and they probably knew only rich people would buy them. Therefore, rich people would not mind paying for whatever needed fixing.

Rich people bought these new and were protected by a full warranty . They never paid any repair bills . They traded the car in for a new one .
