Just got this, CPO. After three weeks it didn't start when I tried. I tried again and it started then stalled out. The third time it started, no problem. It hasn't happened since. On that day it was very hot, 90 or so if that matters.

Hello,

This type of intermittent no start can be difficult to pinpoint.
So, did you have this issue on any other day that was hot or humid?

Is there any warning light on the dash illuminated?
Like the check engine light?
If that light is on, then scanning for codes can help determine the issue.

If there is no error light, you might have to wait for this issue to happen again.

Also, as a CPO vehicle this will have factory warranty. So, it might be a good idea to take it to the dealer and have them do a thorough inspection.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
