Asked on September 30, 2012

My car takes a few shots to get it running and it dies on me when I try to turn it back on after turning it off, why is that?

The first time I try to turn the engine its fine, but then the ignition takes a few go's to turn it on. Also, after you turn the car off to go do something then come back,  it won't turn on unless you wait like 20-30mins. What's wrong with my car?

Thanks heaps for replying!
I've got new spark plugs already so it shouldn't be that. I haven't checked the main relay or fuel pressure yet

Does the Check Engine Light go off after 2 seconds when you are not able to start?
