Hello, '99 9-3 with 110k. Over the past week the engine has intermittantly not restarted after sitting a bit after being driven. I'd estimate this has occured 5x out of 20-25 on/off driving cycles. Until today the engine usually restarted after 5 minutes of repeated tries. Today it took 1/2 hour and 20 tries. Here is what I know at this point: It is not the starter or battery-full starter engagement and cranking power. Starts fine when cold, ie., first start of the day. No indication of a fuel delivery problem: idles normal, drives great, full power. Not the DIC (replaced with my "spare"). Fuel filter has 10k.
What should I consider at this point? I read many posts on this site suggesting a dying fuel pump, check valve, vacuum leak, fuel pressure regulator, crank position sensor, someone even mentioned problems after hitting potholes, which I did last week here in Upstate NY :(
