well i go start it up and the auto start is just cranking. half asleep i realize its been cranking for a good 5-10 seconds and let off the clutch. odd...so i shut off the ignition and start it up again...it cranks for another 5-10 seconds without starting! what the hell? i try it one more time, and no start. im cold and fed up at this point, so i just let go of the ebrake, let the car roll back and pop the clutch and give it some gas, and it starts right up. i really didnt think id have to "push start" the damn car this early into ownership!

with that said...has anyone had this happen to them? those in the colder states? should i bring this to the dealer if it continues to happen?
This used to happen to me all the time in my 350z. I figured it was the fuel pump.


When it does that. LEt it sit for 10 seconds...pump the gas 3 times and then give it a try again. This should continue with the flow of gas to feed the motor.

GOOD LUCK!
