Trouble Starting Up
 
Well...yesterday i went to start my car to go to work, and it just kinda cranked and cranked and wouldnt start, so i tried again this time pumping the gas and she started. so later on after i get out of work she starts, but hten stalls immediately, so i pump the gas on the 2nd try and it starts. then today i go out to try it and it starts up fine?? what is up with this, i have no C/E lights or anything. any help would be helpful (obviously):confused:

Dirty MAF or fuel injectors possibly?

Or fuel pump/fuel filter.

Maybe a good time to clean your throttle body if you haven't yet.

Did you just buy fuel? Somethimes you can get a bad batch from a station. I am glad to hear that it is starting better now.

Start problems.
 
Sounds like the cold start or idle air control solenoid is gummed up, so you have to open the throttle yourself to allow enought air to start.

Well i got the C/E light today, but the problem hasnt really happened again. I cleaned my throttle body like last july but never since, and i did fill up on friday so that could be a possibility. and i am due for my oil change, im actually 600 miles over my 3000 mile mark.
