My '96 is occasionally starting hard and it is clear that it is not getting any fuel. Turning the key on and off a few times doesn't help. I can clearly hear the pump solenoid working. Tonight it wouldn't start at all for about six tries. Then all of the sudden it starts like nothing was ever wrong. It's not flooded and the RPM doesn't go up like it is clearing excess fuel. It just starts perfectly normal.
Once it's running, it runs fine. I might start it 6 times in a row with no issues and then it might act up the next three times.
I haven't checked the fuel pressure yet. I would think if it was the FPR the problem would be consistent. There is no rhyme or reason based on how long it sits either.
I'm guessing the fuel pump might be on its last legs.
Am I right or could it be something else?
Thanks for any help!
