okay, i had another posting.. went to the shop and they said to bring it in for a diagnostic.



the thing is that it only has starting problems some of the time... some days it starts fine.. others i have to crank it.. the engine turns and doesn?t turn over for a good 6 min.. sometimes it will die right after and i repeat.. hit the gas a little and it stays.. what could it be?

As 'remco' says, probably the main relay (see his link). It is rare for fuel pumps to become intermittent - they normally work until they fail completely. I suppose they could work intermittently, but I've never seen it.

That famous main relay I carry a rebuilt one on my glove compartment.
