Hello all, hopefully someone has some experience with this before I have to take it to the dealer out of warranty because I cannot find anything that makes sense before I start looking at the fuel pressure regulator.
Car: 2018 Cruze diesel automatic, 91,000 miles, oil change being done next week, 10,000 on fuel filter.
Issue: Randomly, seems more common on afternoon/evening starts after car has ran, it will crank but not fire, then fire on the second attempt. When cold it also feels like a misfire hits but no misfires are counted, this goes away in less than 1 mile but did not happen before.
Codes: P11CD, P228C (not present today)
Troubleshooting: I have ran multiple sensor monitors while starting and noticed that in the no-start the injectors do not fire, fuel rail pressure does not come up to demanded, but fuel supply pressure is steady at 59psi. As soon as fuel rail pressure shoots up to demanded, injectors fire.
Notes: I will be checking timing chain tension as it is a bit noisy but no codes for timing.
I am going to be checking the fuel pressure regulator visually to make sure it looks ok, but beyond that I am at a loss and can't find much online to help due to how few of these cars are on the road it seems.
