[s-cars] Hard start, No start.......again.

[Jim Fleischer]

Well, after a week of no problems starting the s6, a repeat of the episode yesterday and today.  Hard start yesterday afternoon after getting to work okay in the morning, started fine last night......no start this morning.  As you may recall, replacing the fuel pressure regulator and the fuel filter fixed the issue last week.  One item of note......the occasional stumble I was experiencing prior to the starting condition got more frequent, and more severe.  I also noticed the CEL light flash every so often, and after about 3 minutes of idling after the hard start yesterday, it illuminated for a little while until I started driving it.

So, Fuel pump? Injectors? Any sensors? A failed new "Made in China" Bosch FPR?

Thanks guys......didn't need this during the busiest work week of the year in Colorado.
