:iagree: See if you can find someone to put the car on a scanner. Maybe that will shed some light.

Hi DR91.

Yes, welcome to the forum!

I'd change the fuel filter if you haven't done it recently. Good to do anyway but if that doesn't solve the prob, do what the other members suggest. If it's still a problem, have the fuel pressure checked.

Best I can do.
Good Luck!

BIG JIM
