IF you experience this again, try toggling the key gently as you try restarting. If you have an ignition problem, the continued trying to restart by turning the key might be causing the random success in getting it to start.

 

Not sure how turning the key (there's not a key though, just a plastic fake key) gently would affect the computer settings when it tries to start.

When I try to restart it, I give it several seconds between tries. I also switch off A/C, radio, etc and watch the battery voltage. So far I've gotten it restarted all 3 times it's died but after 20-30 tries, I start worrying that I'll run out of battery power.

I've had it back for a week now and no problems so far but considering it was 2 months between the 1st and 2nd time it died, I won't feel completely safe for a few months.

 

bad gas maybe???

 

I thought that the first time. I only buy Exxon, shell, or texaco fuel but I bought from one these on the highway that looked a little shady. The 2nd and 3rd times I was only using fuel from stations with relatively new tanks near my house.

 

Didn't know it was keyless. But an ignition can turn the motor over and not send the signal so that it will actually run. I have been down this road. I don't think it's fuel quality related, not saying it's impossible, but fuel quality, or an obstructed sock/pick up....I don't think your story fits those problems. To me it sounds electrical if not temp related.

 

Any updates? What fixed or did not fix?

 

So far so good. Don't worry, Rennlist will be first to know if it happens again!

High Pressure fuel pump did not fix it but low pressure fuel pump and fuel control module did. Of course it may have been a combination of the 3 that was required.

 

Thanks David. Just curious for future TS'ing
