Re: Starting problems.

My experience with the problem is inconclusive, however -
	I had this exact problem with my Rabbit, and I noticed that the
fuel pump wasn't running as much as it should while I was starting the
car. I ran a relayed switch, turned on the fuel pump before I started
turning the key, and now the problem is gone. My friend Em has the same
problem, and if you run the fuel pump before you start the car, it doesn't
happen. What would this be? I don't really know - bad relay? Bad fuel
pressure accumulator? A miniscule leak somewhere in the lines? Leaky
injectors?
