The car starts normally after it sits for an hour or two.
After I turn it off, it will not start back up but will crank normally.
I've also tried turning it off right after the first initial start up to see what would happen. But the car only cranks.
Some info about what I've diagnosed:
* I hear the fuel pump when turned to the on position
* I tested for spark and it lights when it cranks (tried changing spark plugs also)
* tested the AIC and it was fine
*cranks strong with a good battery
*fuel pump relay and starter felt like it switched when needed
*check my codes and nothing
***theft light always flash when locked or unlocked???(don't remember if its supposed to)
What's weird is that when i thought it was the fuel shutoff switch, I tried popping up the switch. When I did that I was able to start-up the car but it was difficult and it idled rough. After that, the fuel ran out and died. I was still able to switch it back on and off to start it up.
Is something telling me that my all my fuel injectors are shutting down?
Thanks for your input I really need this help.
