So it's not a major problem, but it's a bit embarrassing sometimes.
My car always starts fine when it's cold, but it seems if I shut it off for 5 minutes to go in somewhere and then come back to try and start it, it doesn't. I can just hear the starter going and don't hear any signs of combustion.
Eventually it will start after a minute or two, and there doesn't appear to be any excess gas coming out of the exhaust, which makes me think that the engine wasn't getting any fuel when it was being started.
I found that the easiest way to ensure that it starts is to pump the gas a little bit.
Anyone encountered this before? Does something need to be cleaned or what (that's my guess)?
