I'm replacing ignition coils and plugs but only had 3 of both on hand.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I'm replacing ignition coils and plugs but only had 3 of both on hand. Could the other three be responsible for this? Seems like the engine is not getting gas or something.
Why is your voltage so low? Bad battery? Old battery? Should be close to 14V at ignition on, drop a little at start, then right back to close to 14V. Your's is below 10.
So I put a new battery in my car today, took the cover half off and decided to start her up. She ran for about 30 second sputtered then shut off. I tried to restart and pretty much got exactly what you have here. Decided to take the cover fully off to open the engine compartment and it hit me. My cover was blocking the exhaust therefore not letting the engine breath. Once I removed the cover off the exhaust its all good.
Point being this could be anything, and maybe, just make you have a car cover half on covering your exhaust?
Good luck!
If
the cover created a restriction, it more likely would have been to the air entering the snorkel to air filter housing. Your exhaust theory is, however, interestingly reminiscent of the Columbo potato in the tailpipe episode.
In any case, glad to see you're back in business!
You are probably right. I can say for sure it wasn't IF the cover created a restriction, it did. Soon as I lifted it she was back to perfect...
Good input
Not sure if this is still an issue, but I've had this issue on other cars. It was either a MAF sensor or a vacuum leak.
For the MAFS, unplug the MAFS plus and try starting it. That puts the car in open loop. Worth a try.
