    Air lock? Have you run out of fuel at any point?

    And anyway, it's irrelevant now, you've only got half a car!

    bit of a thread resurrection - was hoping for an answer in here as I have the same problem. Never an issue starting any other time. Anyone got any ideas?

    best to start a new thread... but you probably have an air leak in the fuel system somewhere could be a gasket, a seal or perished fuel line that lets in air...

    Yeah your right, I thought Stripey had a 2.8t and they never made a 2.8t sxi plus it’s not even in the right section nor even after all these years do we know what engine it is or fuel
