I suspect a fuel related issue, but then I would expect to have an issue while driving as well, but so far it has not stalled once. Once starting the car runs great and continues to start normally and quickly for the next many tries.
Part of the reason that I suspect a fuel issue is that when the car would crank but not start, I tried just turning the key to the "on" position without starting it, and I could not hear the fuel pump cycling on. Then once it finally started and drove to where I was going and parked, I shut the car off, and turned the key to "on" and I did hear the fuel pump cycle on that time.
I don't necessarily want to point to the fuel system or fuel pump as the issue, but just wanted to give as much information as possible.
How can I determine if the fuel pump (or maybe a relay or some other fuel system component) is the issue?What are some other possible causes for this type of intermittent starting issue?
Thanks so much for your input!
