Need help with two problems. Hard to start and seat issue.
I have a 04 6 speed coupe. First problem is to start the car either I have to turn the engine over for 5-10 seconds or turn it over 2-3 times quickly to get it to fire up. When it fires it runs great but I just can't get in and turn the key and have it fire right up? This is a daily driver and I replaced the battery and have used many tanks of gas with additives so I don't think it was a bad tank of gas. The other problem is while driving the seat will reposition it's self like I am trying to adjust it. It goes to the same position every time which is a movement where it tilts back and puts my knees in the dash. Not good while driving. It doesn't happen every time I drive but like I said it's a dd and happens about every other week. Thanks for any help with either problem.

No codes. Fuel filter on a 2004 is in the tank. Supposed to last forever I guess? Only 44K miles. I have not checked the fuel pressure. Had someone tell me it may be the oil pressure sensor/switch. Would that cause a delayed start?

For sure. Need to know what pressure you have at the rail, and if there is any bleed down.

Check the pressure at the rail/bleed down.
