Well here is the deal got a 98.5 Red SVT. The car runs absolutely perfect, it has 107k. The only issue the car has is SOMETIMES and I can't stress that enough, sometimes it doesn't want to start. It will crank and crank but won't start. BUT you can push start the car no problem and even after that it will restart no problem for a few times, it is a very intermittent problem. I have released the schraeder valve and there is fuel there. But it varied each time I released the schraeder valve so I am thinking it is the Fuel filter. The pump sounds fine so I don't think thats the problem. And there are no codes thrown from the problem either. So I was curious if anybody has had a similar problem and what was it. Any input is appreciated.

Thanks,
Ross

The best way to see if it's a fuel delivery problem would be to connect a fuel pressure guage to the Schraeder valve and actually measure what the pressure is.

Otherwise, just replace the filter and hope for the best.
