Has anyone experienced long cranks after the car has been sitting overnight or for a couple of days. I have Keyless go, and it will sometimes not start in the first cycle. Other times, it barely catches and then stalls. The next crank always starts right up. I have mentioned it to the dealer when it first did it, a;nd he said it was poor quality fuel, and recommended I fill it w/ Chevron fuel (B.S.). Anyway I did that and it still intermittently does it. The car only has 6K on it. I'm wondering if the fuel filter is clogged, or maybe a bad pump... Any thoughts... It's really cool when you want to impress somebody and the damn thing doesn't even start...

Sincerely,

Have them check the fuel pressure. This sounds like a bad fuel pump or one of the fuel pressure regulators. However, since it is intermittent I am leaning toward the pump (faulty check valve).

I have never had a problem. We had some severe days here in Toronto where the temperature was at -25 and -30 degress celcius (with windchill). I was very impressed the car turned over immediately.

The temperature had no effect at all on the car.

I'm in Arizona, it probably was no colder than 40 deg. and no warmer than 65...
