Give this a whirl. Just humor me here.

After letting it sit for 2-3 hours, press the valve on the fuel rail to check the fuel pressure that is residual. Dont start it, dont put the key in the ign. Just pop hood and press the button.

I think you are getting air into your fuel line...

And BTW... Stop being a drama queen... lol

hmmm, i will be sure to do that, im going to work now, and ill come back and see what happens, that seems likely though, as thats how it starts, if it DOES have air in the fuel lines, what should i look into next?

(as i use up the gas in my tank, it gets harder to start)

[Ryan from Ohio]

Did you replace the fuel pump? The fuel filter? Did you disconnect the fuel rail ever?

If you did any of the above you may not have got the seal back fully. In which case air could get into the mix.

Its possible but not highly probably.

But if its not checked, you cant rule it out.

There should be a round valve on the end with a plastic cap. Just take it off and depress the pin. Gas should shout outta that bastage pretty good. If it spits, sputters or doesnt fly out, you have a fuel problem.

No, you buy it at the dealership. I was there earlier, I think its 7.95 or something.
