It took me 4 times to start my car.

I'm so ****ed, but I'm not gonna give up because I still love my car.

it was cranking. i then tried putting in gas and it started after 3 tries. but i know i should have enough gas to start the car regardless.. i took the car to get it filled up and i topped off at 11 gallons. I ran out of gas once on the street when i first realized that the fuel level gauge is inaccurate. I remember filling up 15+ gallons of gas for that incident. I also toyed my car a lil today and my boost was below normal at 0.5 where normally it should be at 1.14 or even 0.9 if its stock with no modification. It is a mess, but I have plenty of faith on my car.

running out of gas can screw up injectors and fuel pumps

As I have predicted, my car won't start. It surely didn't and it's stuck at work.

Woah ... I just caught this thread (I know, I'm lame and out of the loop) - Sorry to hear about your car

Send me an e-mail if there's anything I can help with (parts, service, etc.). Good luck, Kevin!

crank crank crank, crank crank crank, crank crank crank and I finally started the car last night. I was so glad to be able to bring it home and give it warmth before some examination and surgery. I have faith in musubi and it's like the sea biscuit of suby wagon.
