Hey everyone,

I had a little issue with my Speed today. I hadn"t driven it in about 2-3 days, and I had a little more than 1/3 of a gas tank left. I tried to start it, and it refused to start. I tried again, it still wouldn"t start. Finally, I gave it one final crank, plus just a little gas, and it started. I did wash my car 2-3 days before, but that was when I last started it. Could water have entered the engine somehow?

What the heck caused that problem? My dad said it was water in the gas tank, but I"m really not sure what it is. I"ve never had this problem before, and my turbo still is great, and doesn"t smoke. There also is plenty of oil (Mobil 1 5W-30).

Also, after the car started, it idled really low around 1500, when it normally idles at startup at 2100. It always does that if I haven"t driven the car for a day or two.

Could just be that there wasn"t enough fuel in the line to get it to start. I wouldn"t think that it is anything serious. If your really worried about it, just take it to the dealer and let them know. Probably will get the "could not replicate problem" crap most of them give people, but you never know.

That was the one thing I can"t stand about the dealership....

I"ll see if it does it again today.

Thanks for your reply.
