Startup and idle issues

[Immortality]

There have been a couple of instances where these type of issues re-appeared after doing a fuel pump, in those cases it turned out to be non genuine type pumps that were failing. Fuel pressure test to confirm.

New fuel pump and filter 2 years ago, doesn’t mean that I haven’t picked up some dirty fuel with all the running around for cheap petrol these days though. At this point I am willing to try almost anything, it certainly can’t hurt when turning it over and it not firing it is like there is no fuel, if the purge solenoid is faulty that would affect the pressure also yes?

Change the fuel filter asap as 2 yrs is to long, every 6 months or 10-15000 km best in my opinion. If you put the lique Molly in tomorrow when filling up, it will dissolve whats stored inside the filter and the engine will burn it.
After about 100 km you will notice some dark exhaust fume on exeleration and better running and idle, it will be best noticed after 5-600 +. I'd suggest to go for a cruz on the hwy to get it circulating but not necessary. You would be best repeating the treatment 2-4 tanks appart in my experience but depends on you, for 5-10000 km
