Thank You. Yes this is one of my directions to look at. What makes it hard is that the failure is on first start. 90% of the time next turn of the key works, which makes troubleshooting frustrating. I had discounted the VSV on a hot start failure as its mostly a cold start issue. The crank...

99.9% of starts are quick and strong. Cold start this morning 100% (parked for 12 hours). Quick turn of the key through the drivers window. Yesterday, after a 20 minute drive I went to fuel up. Took 4 cranks to get it to fire. 3 minutes in between crank 3 and 4. Thats what occurs randomly. not...
