My car started hesitaiting the other day and yesterday it took 30 minutes to get it started. I was sitting on a hill front of car facing downhill it would not start so I pushed it to level ground. My friend may be coincedence smacked the fuel tank with his hand and a couple minutes later it reluctantly started. It now intermetenly stalls when coning to a stop and some times when pulling out lacks a lot of power and sputters. After running it for a while it seems normally. It also shudders when accellerating(intermitanlly). It threw a code po190 fuel rail pressure sensor malfunction.
