[s-cars] Sporadic Start.

[Dan Bertram]

Cody,

I had the same problem on my 200:  it wasn't the fuel pump that was bad, it
was the "fuel pump check valve".  I'm not sure if that's the technical term
for it, but it would essentially shut down the fuel pump, especially if the
car was still even the slightest bit warm.  A night of sitting would open it
back up again.

Ok..I get the car towed to the shop today and when the car gets there "It S=
TARTS?!"  What the heck is going on here?  I tested the fuel pump as I thou=
ght that was the issue via disconnecting the line in to the fuel filter and=
 cranking over the engine..and noted that no fuel came out of the line.  Is=
 this a VALID test of the fuel pump/relay?

Man this is frustrating any other tips?  The ECU seems to be fine.

TIA
