Car would not start after visiting Wal Mart Friday night. Came back on Saturday in the light and tried again the engine turned over normally but did not seem to be firing. I suspected fuel issues and not electrical to all plugs but not sure. With most of my choices for mechanics closed until Monday i let the car sit in the parking lot until Monday. I arranged a tow to my selected mechanic and when i went to meet him at the parking lot the car started first try. Now i am at a loss as to whether this is electrical or fuel related but am not trusting the car much at this point. Thinking of trying to check the fuel system first as i suspect that this will be cheaper than the computer if that is where the problem. Any thoughts or suggestions?
