Car start problems even after crankshaft sensor replacement.
Replaced the crankshaft sensor. Once in a while on a cold start more often the car cranks but does not start. After 3-4 attempts it finally fires up. Any ideas what else it could be?

my car would take a few attempts to start and the dealership had no idea. i changed my crank sensor as well and no diff. had the entire fuel filter unit changed due to the gas smell recall at my expense of course and have not had the problem since. on a side note, my car was reading correct fuel pressure when i was having problems

How much did that fuel filter unit cost? Do you mean fuel pump?
Are their 2 fuel pumps? Is the fuel sender unit same or different thing?
Confusedddd

I have the same problem in my CL and replaced the CPS. Problem still persists from time to time, how ever I have not checked the relay. I hope it's not the fuel pump (CL only has 1 pump).
Report back soon.

the car has dual fuel pumps on the passenger side and the fuel filter is located on the drivers side. the fuel filter is part of a whole assembly. when i took my car in for the gas smell recall and for the gas leak i was getting do to it, i was having the starting issue. i ended up having both the fuel pump and fuel filter assembly changed for $1600. could have done it myself and saved cash but didnt have time to do it. had it done 2 months ago and car hasnt skipped a beat since.

I am not sure if it is the case, but I was told because of the fuel pump is getting bad and therefore the relay overheat/melted. And that's why I changed the fuel pump as well. You can try to change the relay part first and see if the pump starts, then decide what to do after.
