Hi All,

I've recently started to get a strange problem at start up. When I park on the street at home overnight (car is on a slight lean, maybe 5%) my Soarer struggles to start some mornings. The Car cranks over, but it doesn't catch and start. Battery, injectors, fuel pump, Fuel Pump ECU and spark plugs are all fine (were done about 6 months ago). The only thing I can think of is fuel filter (??).

To add further confusion I have never had the problem when the car is parked at work for 9 hours or parked elsewhere overnight. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated, as I'm stumped.

helpful comment. But I don't think that's the case. I'm going to check the crank shaft sensor tonight for wear in the wire. Might do fuel filter on the weekend. If nothing changes I guess I'm off to fours n more. :-(
