Yesterday I ran into a gas station to buy some food and when I came out the car wouldn't start. I called a family member to arrange a ride, but then about ten minutes after I first tried I decided to try and start it again. It took it a few seconds to start, and it struggle for a few seconds after that, but then it was running great. I started it a few other times that day, and it fired up fine each time.
Then today after pumping gas it did the same thing. I tried starting it a few times and again it would turn over but couldn't quite fire up. I waited a while, primed the fuel pump a few times and then once again it struggled and then started up.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? The car has a 194,000 miles and has ran great since I bought it. It's only happened twice during a period of starting it maybe 10 times, and both times it happened it had only been off for a few minutes. Usually when the engine is hot, I can turn the key and immediately let go and it will start up just fine. But now all of a sudden it doesn't start when it's hot.
