Default EM1 Takes like 10 turnes to start the car after putting gas in

Every time I put gas in my 2000 SiR it take forever to start after. I have a 255 pump in it. Any ideas?

sounds like the pressure isnt there... what happens if you turn the key and wait for the pump to prime (like wait 5-6 secs) then try to start it?

try opening ur fuel door and taking the gas cap off
get some1 to turn the switch on and listen for the pump 2 turn on
if no sound then

your connection to your fp could be bad
or the fuel pump is going out
i had the same prob with my eg 4dr
turned out to be a bad connection b/t the ecu and fp

Check the fuse and then hook up a fuel pressure gauge.

I have a gauage and it looss pressure and regauns full pressure as soon as I prime it. Its a 255, I dont have to take the gas cap off to hear it, it make the same noise they all do.

How the hell does that post help? That's an A/F Ratio guage...

He doesn't need an A/F ratio guage, he needs more pressure for whatever reason.

The pump is turning on or it wouldn' t be driving, so what's the possible corprits:
- clogged fuel filter (he said he changed it)
- FPR is fucked up (possible)
- fuel rail went...bad (unlikely)
- clogged injectors (still unlikely, or it'd be breaking up)
- evap purge solenoid (maybe..)


What else is there? I'm sure I'm leaving some **** out

Those are what I'd check first though...

And thanks for the help on the fuel pump issue. When I get my new motor in I will try the ideas. I got the pump from my firends DC2 and it didn't have any problems in it.
