Hey everyone,
I have a 1999 v6 coupe and so far, today, and one a couple days ago, I went to start my car, and it would start up, not even reach 800rpm, super rough idle for a solid second or 2, then just die.
It has happened after starting up just fine earlier and driving, then sitting for maybe 30 minutes to an hour and it would do this.
Sometimes it would start and idle some, but only maybe around 300rpm and be extremely rough. Thought it sounded like a misfire or something, but there's no check engine light and not any codes.
After starting it and trying to keep rpms up for a bit, the idle would go back to normal and level out just fine. Would it be fuel pump or pressure regulator maybe? The fuel pump has been replaced maybe a year ago though.
I also have a short video I could try uploading too if that helps.
Thanks for any help
EDIT: Let the car sit for a bit. It did it again. Fuel pump makes a strange-ish sound while priming, car "starts" and sputters out and dies. Had to rev up to keep it alive. Heavy fuel smell. Then it levels out and idles fine after a minute.
Here's video of it https://youtu.be/odFsHvi-0oM
