What are areas to investigate if Im having issues starting up on a hot day (85+)
For the past two days this has occurred and I am able to get it started after 15 minutes or so with the hood open and randomly prodding things. Each time i've sprayed some MAF sensor cleaner but I believe its more of a habit than a cure.
Im not sure if the fuel pump is bad, it was replaced with a new one around 1600 miles ago, but I don't recall hearing it prime the past few times, yet I am able to get her started. Im about to take it to a mechanic/dealer ship and just hate the pirating of my pockets... or anyone know some mechanics in the 20706 zip code area ? (Lanham, MD)
