Each time I waited 2mins ish before cranking and the car fired straight into life. At town speeds and stop start it went fantastic never missed a beat.
What would/could cause this to happen? Just had new plugs, recent coil change, 1/4 tank of premium fuel. Any ideas??
Don't take this as gospel because it's probably got a mechanical fuel pump, but I had a car with an electronic fuel pump do something similar when it crapped out.
