Jan,

With all the things you've listed that could be wrong, always start with the most obvious and least expensive....fuel filter would be my first shot..a clogged, or partially clogged fuel filter would allow enugh fuel to pass through it until the demand was to great...in effect..you'd be emptying the filter of all available fuel..then whenhte car sits..fuel would accumulate again.


Good guesses on the other parts though...you should grab a wrench and go at it...sound slike you know what yu're doing.

Thanks for letting us at FixYa.com help

Have you tried replacing the fuel filter? It is located under the cars center on the left side ..

You will find it alongside the main high pressure fuel pump on a metal support plate held up with 3 bolts.
Remove the 3 bolts with a 10mm socket wrench to lower the plate. Place a catch pan below the filter to catch any leaking fuel.
Be careful not to get fuel in you eyes or running down your arms. Remove the 2 bolts holding the banjo fuel pipe connections to the filter.
Note the direction of the filter.
Loosen the clamp holding the filter to the support plate and slide out the old filter.
Install the new filter in the same direction as the old one and use new copper sealing washers on the banjo connections.

You may want to try replacing the spark plug wires. I had a problem with my car not starting occasionally - eventually I figured out that it happened more when it had just rained or was particularly damp outside. This was because when it was wetter outside, the air was more conductive and the electricity would be more likely to spark to the engine block instead of going to the spark plugs. Although you may still see sparks in the spark plugs when this is happening, they will be weaker and may just not be strong enough to get it started.

If you go outside at night and start the engine with the hood open and can see sparks flying from the wires to your engine block or other parts of your car (they may be very faint), you may want to go replace your wires.
