Consumer Description

VEHICLE BEGAN HAVING HARD STARTING PROBLEMS WHERE IT WILL NOT START THOUGH IT KEEPS CRANKING OVER AND OVER OR KNOCKS VERY BADLY THEN SPUTTERS OUT. THIS CAN GO ON 2 OR 3 TIMES BEFORE IT STARTS. IT IS INTERMITTENT BUT SEEMS TO OCCUR IF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING, IS SHUT OFF, AND RESTARTING IS ATTEMPTED AFTER 15-30 MINUTES. USUALLY IF IT SITS FOR SEVERAL HOURS OR OVERNIGHT IT STARTS ON THE FIRST TRY. DEALERSHIP HAS NOT KNOWN WHAT IT IS BUT BELIEVES IT IS MOST LIKELY A FUEL SYSTEM COMPONENT. *TR
