Okay...I have been having problems with my Del sol. I think we have narrowed it down to a fuel problem. Sometimes my car doesn't start right away. It doesn't happen all of the time though. I took it to the shop and they did the whole computer thing to see if it would read any numbers and nothing showed up abnormal. WTF? So, what the hell is the problem?

Leaky fuel pressure regulator, injector or leaky check ball in the tank. If the fuel pressure bleeds down while it sits turned off, it'll be hard to start next time.

When I stop my engine, the fuel pressure bleeds off in about 30 seconds which is pretty bad. It's supposed to stay pretty close to the pressure you had when you turned it off. I sometimes have to prime it a few times. (Key on till dash lights are on, wait 2 seconds, turn it off and repeat). Most of the time I turn the key on, wait till I hear the fuel pump turn off, then crank it up.
