Hi I'm new and I've been having the same problem quite a few times now. When I start the car it starts up but then quickly dies, if I try again same thing happens it starts then dies really fast. It just doesnt want to stay started at idle speed. I seems like its the fuel pump or somthing thats not pumping fuel by itself to keep the car alive. I can start it and then quickly spet on the gas and keep my foot there to keep it running but when I let off it dies again.
So I decieded to call the tow comapny to tow it back to the dealer to get it fixed (* I bought the 7 year extended waranty*) but when the guy came he said this happens daily... he gets 2 cars a day and he said he'll fix it and the problem wouldnt return for like years usually. So he loosened the gas cap and tightened it back and then started it and reved the engine like what I did for like 5 mins and it worked! and said it shouldnt return... but it has... like 4 times already. and each time if i do the same trick I can get it to run fine just like normal but the problem returns. The Two truck driver said if I take it to the dealer all they will say is its fine, theres no problem cuz they can do the same thing and jsut give the car back to me.
Anyone know whats going on? Any suggestions to fix it? Its still under the 7 year extended warranty so I want to get it fixed before that goes away. My problem seriously doesnt sound normal to me.
Thanks
Eric
