Ok, I've had this car for a while now, and really have not had any issues with it except today which of course is driving me crazy...
Sequence of Events.
Pull over at a gas station-fill up the tank half away...try to start the car and it does nothing except crank 5 times...i waited may be 2 minutes and the car started no problem...
Drove maybe 40km and was intrigued what was happening...pull over at another gas station, shut the engine off and turn it on immediately...no problem....then waited 2 minutes and tried to start the car again and all it did was crank several times...waited another 10 minutes, it was a hot day...and the car would still not start, it was just cranking all the time...by this time the battery was getting weak and noticed a tow truck nearby and tried getting a boost...to no avail during the boost the car still wouldn't start and gave up because you could smell the wires? checked everything mechanically, all seemed good, oil, belt, etc...however i did notice a gap of about 2 inches in the clear line which feeds the fuel (is this something to be concerned about)? had the car towed to my place and still the same cranking until battery goes very low?
I asked a friend and he said it might be a power supply relay?
Any help would be greatful.
