Cold air intake or intake manifold? Is MAF plugged in?

i'm confused. you state that it won't start until you "pull" the battery? what exactly are you doing when you pull the battery and it starts?

The car won't start after sitting for a little. When I unplug the battery it resets everything and it'll start. I'm confused as well.

How do you "unplug" a battery?

You remove the power cable from it... Disconnect it

So, if you disconnect the negative cable then reconnect it everything works?

If so I suspect you have a bad cable connection, probably at the battery but could be either end of whichever cable you are disconnecting..

When it doesnt want to start do you hear the column unlock? or is it just quiet and the gauges sweep but no starting?
