Hi, thanks for the donation. When the vehicle refuses to start, the fuel pressure is 60psi? You have the spider fuel system? I've seen service bulletins on fuel poppets sticking, cold start, overnight sit. The cleaning procedure in the bulletin is a shop procedure. Don't know if injector cleaner in the gas tank will help? If that is the problem?
