Every time i start my when the engine is cold, i have to turn the ignition twice for it to start. Shouldn't it start right up without having to crank the engine twice with the acceptation of starting in < 32 degrees weather?

Maybe losing f/p over night. Next time, try cycling the key twice before actually going to the crank position. See if that helps.

yeah i'll try that. so if i am using f/p does that mean im losing fuel

PRO50SC

It means you're losing pressure over time. Leaking injector, but most likely the pump is causing it

it means fp is bleeding off internally as long as there are no external leaks, if it's an inj , it bleeds into the head runner/ cumbustion chamber, if it's a pump issue or reg issue it just bleeds back to the tank

so would this be a problem that i should fix or can i leave it alone?

PRO50SC

I guess that would depend on how irritated you are by it.

19stang88

well its no big deal to mean. as long as i can start the car i'm fine. but if the problem is something i should get fixed because it could potentially damage something then yes, i have reason to fix it.

mjr46

if it's the pump then if you can live with it, then do so

That sounds about right. the fuel pump was replaced nine years ago and then it sat for 8 years in a garage, (thankfully!) before i bought it. maybe it was replaced wrong.
