Hello all, to start, my JSW has 164k miles on it currently and recently got a new fuel filter 4k miles ago and is due for an oil change.
This weekend we were starting a 2 hour trip and stopped about 30 minutes in to get fuel as I was getting close to the 1/8th line. After fueling the engine did not start for 4 key turns, it would fire one or 2 times then get a weak fire and die, kind of like low fuel pressure or an injector not firing. I also noticed that the engine temp was running on the low side up to this point, it got to operating temp about 20 minutes after fueling. The car started on the 5th try and had no problems the rest of the day. No codes or lights are on.
If anyone has thoughts it would be appreciated. It has occasionaly had some long cranks to start or maybe 1 stumble like I described but this was a first.
