My car has to be cranked over a lot to start when cold, maybe 10-15 times. After A few times it sounds like it wants to start, but starts boggin' down then dies. It will also die if I try and give it gas right away. It behaves the same as when a car runs out of gas. Just replaced the fuel pressure regulator, no change.
After it runs for a while, it idles at 500rpm. Then it runs fine and will start right up if i shut if off and start it. So I think it might be the fuel pump that's going, i think it's not getting enough fuel to start. But I want to get some more opinions first.
P.S. I do have a boost leak at the moment, not sure if that would affect a cold start. Will be fixing it soon.
