Hey guys im having a little drama when i start the car it takes a while before it starts and when it does start it jerks for a bit then its alright its sort of like it has no petrol then other days i turn the key and starts first time do you think it might be the fuel pump or something else let me know thanks.

i think it is the fuel pump primer, it could not be activating sometimes before you start your car. Or they may be a hole in your fuel line.

Have you smelled any gas lately.

When i drove in my driveway yesterday it just conked out like it was out of fuel but the tank is full theres no leak as far as i can tell i cant smell petrol anywhere.So how much is the fuel pump worth and where is it located.

does the hard starting issue appear when the car was turned off for a few hours?
does it go away if the car was off for long time say left overnight or so?

i suspect leaky injectors.

I found the problem to the starting issue i think it was the bosh super 4 spark plugs i had it wasnt good for cold start as its get minus 4 degrees when you get up in the morning t would fire properly so i went and bought standard NGK spark plugs and put them in first kick it started i went out this morning after been minus 5 degrees again started first kick so it had to be the sparks plugs.Let me know if anyone else has had this issue.
