Hey guys,
Need some help as my car is at the my dealership and they are having no luck figuring out what is wrong with the car.
long story short, I was driving down the freeway coming going up a hill, car starts to stuble and hesistate like its out of gas or not getting enough gas... tried to step on gas pedal and the car wouldnt go any where so i had to let it coast to the gas station where the car finally shut off.. opened up my hood to notice that a bypass hose coming from the fast idle valve connecting to the idle air control valve was bubbling and leaking coolant... so i waited to let the car cool down, it fired back up and was able to drive a good 2-3 miles before it sputtered and and turned off like i ran out of gas.. got the car towed home.. it fired right up with no problems... then the next day it wouldn't fire up.. didn't hear the fuel pump priming... hit the main relay quite a bit of times with no luck... had the car towed to the dealership and the tech tapped on the main relay and car fired up right away.. tech said it was main relay so we ordered up a new switched it out car started up fine... drove the car home then back to work the next day and it was fine until i had to go home.. the car wouldn't start in the parking lot.. it would crank but no start... the tech tried to put another main relay in and it did the same thing, we didn't hear the pump priming up... check fuses and then we go and check fuel pressure which there was none.. had to push the car back to the dealership, the tech tested all the pins where the main relay connects and fuel pump relay connects.. they were all in spec.. so the next day the car fires up and its been firing up for the past week with no issues... the tech called tech line and i also called shad at driving ambition.. shad said it doesn't sound like a fuel pump problem.. and the tech line is suggesting there is garnish in the fuel tank that could cause the no start... the tech is aiming towards driving the car as is or changing out the fuel pump? What do you guys think i should do in this situation.. FYI car has been starting for a good 35-40 times now... been driven around for about 5 miles.. any help would be appreciated.. thanks
