Fuel Delivery

["Jan Folkson" <jfolkson@optonline.net>]

Hi All,

The other day I took my car out, as always I let it warm up in the driveway.
When I came back out it had stalled, which it never does.  I tried starting
it and it just cranked, so I put the pedal to the floor and tried again.
After cranking a while it finally turned over.  Drove it around all day with
no problems.  Yesterday, it faked turning over when I turned the key.  It
sounded like it caught so I let the key go and it stalled, same deal with
starting it, but it eventually turned over.  Drove it around all day finally
it happened one more time.  So I brought it to the dealer where, as I
expected, it started up every time with no problem.  I take it home, no
problem.  I try to start it up 4 hours later and it will not start at all.
I put the pedal to the floor and don't even smell gas now.  And the car just
cranks.

The mechanic at the dealer said he checked the filter the line and
everything else it could be.  But he obviously missed something.  I'm
thinking fuel transfer pump.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Help :(
