Reply to gmplus's Post: yes but not all the time(when it starts rough sometimes or when it tries to Bog or stall)/also low coolant light comes on but not low on coolant the car only heats up in stop and go traffic/ which is when i usually have the starting problem/ i can drive from my house and to work 20 miles all highway and it will restart right away only issue is when im driving around the city and make a few stops it will turn over but not start

Accepted Answer

OK

I would start by doing a couple things to see if it will help. The first thing I would do is clean your throttle body really, really good. I would also try some fuel injector cleaner to see if it gets any better. I would also look at the fuel filter and change it if it has been never changed or been some time. After doing all that if you are still having issues I would have your fuel system pressure checked to make sure you do not have a weak fuel pump. One other I want to mention is the starter. I have seen starters not work warm, but will work fine when they cool off, places like Auto Zone will check your starter at no charge.

Another thing I would try to do is when the engine Light is off to get the computer scanned for any codes. This could be very valuable in this situation. If there is a issue the computer will set a code. With this code you can troubleshoot the circuit or component causing the issue.
