Replying to: mudvayne1985 (Sep 06, 2009 9:18 pm) I have the same or similar problem. At first it would take a couple turns to start. The other night it took a good 20 tries. Opening the hood-- it smells like gasoline and gas mileage seems worse. I was told it's the fuel pressure regulator (it looks wet after I've been trying to start). My friend found a hose around that area that was cracked/smoking and rigged it up a bit better... then it started. I'm going tomorrow (if the cavy starts) to get it checked, but judging on previous incidents, my first solution is never right. All I know is I'm sick of this piece having a new problem every month! Any help is appreciated

Replying to: mudvayne1985 (Sep 18, 2009 8:54 pm) i always try the cheap and easy stuff first. battery connections at the battery can seem clean and be trashed. next check the positive wire going to the starter and make sure it is tight. the wire running from the alternator needs to be tight also. if these things are ok the next time it gives you trouble try tapping the starter lightly with a hammer from the underside of the car
