Just got this car. It usaually starts the first time I try it in a day, but after driving the car for a while it has trouble starting again after it has been driven.
When trying to restart, the starter will crank but the engine will not start till after maybe 5 attempts. And engine feels under powered.
The service engine light is flashing and the codes read, misfire in one of the cylinders and the knock sensor. I have only replaced the ignition switch so far. Thank you

Hi joe747,

Thank you for the donation.

For the cylinder that is misfiring, get the spark plugs checked. Th eknock sensor if it is faulty, can cause performance fault as well.

What are the trouble codes retrieved?

Get the fuel pressure tested as well.
