Default car won't start

Anyone have the problem when you go out to start your car and it just cranks????? My 2007 c6 6 speed has done this a few times. I have waited a few moments, sometimes minutes and then it fires right up!!!!!

I understand. My 05 was a DBS car. A month after getting my new pride & joy the battery was dead and it was shut down right. It took over 18 moths to fix mine, (with 4 more attacks) yours can be fixed in a day or two if I'm right on what your problem is.

Get yourself to MR Goodiewench. Hey sh** happens, get it fixed and get back to driving your new ride.

Checked the fuel rails and pushed the valve with no fuel coming out! This after I tried cranking it about 5-6 times. Sounds like fuel pump came on but is not making it to the rails.

I am going to bring it home and go out somewhere and guess what, gonna leave me stranded. They did hook up a data logger to it and told me next time it happens to hit the data logger. Still won't keep me from being stranded. This is unreal

If you can hear the fuel pump running and there's no fuel pressure, I would suspect that the fuel pressure regulator is stuck open. Maybe some trash on the seat.

where is the reg on these cars??? I think I heard the pump come on. They are pretty darn quite..... It is really concerning me, scared to take it anywhere. I know roadside will pick it up but thats not the point. This car is my pride and joy, always garaged, never in the rain hell never let dust sit on it to long. I'm really leaning towards a wacky pump. Could definately check the reg! Where the heck is it?

dealer brought the car back home and took it right back to the shop again. The driver tried to start it to put it in my garage and bam...... no start. We data logged it this time. This is after 2 days at the dealership with them starting it every couple of hours. I even went by myself and tried it! WTF???????
