Hey guys

Last night I was hanging out some of my friends. I dunno y but lately when I am about to turn on my 01 sport.

It turns on but it doesnt startup. And then I wait like another 5 min then it starts up fine. I dunno if it is my starter or something wrong.

Well any help we be gladly appreciated.

Thanks

Sam

when you say: 'it turns on but it doesn't startup' do you mean, it cranks but won't fire or it won't crank but the dash lights come on??
 






it cranks but it won't fire then i wait 5 min then it starts up fine.
 






do you have spark and fuel pressure when it won't start??
what is the fuel pressure??

try turning the key ON for 5 seconds then OFF for 5 seconds. do that 3 times and try to start.
 






Well, is the engine hot, warm, cold.... You'll need to give us some details... Climate, temp. Details help tons.

Try to turn your key to "RUN" and wait about 3 seconds for the fuel system to pressurize. Then turn it to "OFF" and right back to "RUN" for another 3 second prime cycle and then to "START". See if that helps for the time being. Surely that weill not fix anything but it may help you till you do figure out the malfunction.
 






aaack,

Jones beat me to it......
