I need help from the CEG collective!
If the car has been sitting for a few hours I have no problems. But when I have driven the car, let it sit for less than a half-hour and then try to start it again, it will do the normal crank/turnover (terminology?) but not fire up. I can hear the fuel pump whine when I turn the key, and the fuel filter was replaced 2 months ago, so that end seems to be working.
When it eventually does start an hour or so later, I can smell a pretty strong gas odor, so I believe the engine was flooding, so I'm guessing that the problem is its not getting a spark. So far the spark plugs, spark plug wires, and ignition coil have all been replaced to no avail. And the problem never happens when I take the car in to the dealer, so I'm on my own. I'd greatly appreciate ideas anyone may have...
Thanks!!
