Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I repaired that, fuel trims are within range so I don't suspect a vac leak.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

1 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Having a new quirk. Car is cranking a while before it starts. Doesn't matter hot or cold, but seems to be if it's sitting long enough to bleed fuel pressure. When I turn the key "on" I don't think I'm hearing the pump prime... Unsure why this would be. I'm going to check the relay and see if it's getting a signal. Once it does start it runs great, no issues. No associated codes. I did have the brake booster line break off the manifold. I repaired that, fuel trims are within range so I don't suspect a vac leak. Any other suggestions?
