fuel return check valve
Two years ago I had my fuel return check valve replaced as I was having problems each time I started my 99(took three or four cranks before it starts). Today it seems that I'm having the same problem again.
Is there any product out there that is a good fuel system cleaner? The car is in storage and I do start it each month. I put some fresh gas in it today along with some fuel injector cleaner and let it run for about 15 minutes.

Techron is a good fuel cleaner. When you store it, do you add stabil? If you let it sit for more than a month on the same fuel, you need to add stabil. The tanks also need to be filled to avoid condensation.
Also, if it sitting, are you "tendering" the battery? A low battery will make it crank a few times also. A tender will keep the battery fresh. It only takes a few weeks to kill certain batteries.

I haven't used stabilizer as I thought if you started it you should be okay....I even bought some some but never used it....As for the battery tender I do have one...works great. I'll try the techron and if that doesn't work then I've learned a important lesson.
Thanks

True....my thinking is that if your running the engine no crap will build up on injectors...check valves..etc....Most gas have additives to prevent this also....but it doesn't hurt to add the stabilizer....I tried the car today....all is okay....
