Hi All...
I've got a automatic/V6 and it recently has had problems starting. It is intermittent and the only consistency is that it would be fine for several days, and then out of the blue start acting up. Then, the other day I got off the freeway and hit a pothole rather hard and the enginge stalled, which then took several tries to get started.
Last night I replaced the fuel filter, the plugs, cleaned and oiled the K&N air filter (that I've had long before the problems occurred) and poured in a bottle of fuel injection cleaner. It started and ran fine last night and this morning, then this afternoon after work I made 3 stops and it gave me problems starting all 3 times.
Just for clarification, by "problems" starting, I mean that normally it kicks right off. When it acts up, I can crank it all day long and it won't turn over. I have to turn the ignition completely off, wait a few seconds and try again, and again, and again and eventually it starts. The battery is about a month old and it dosen't click as if the starter is bad...
Any thoughts?
Thanks...
