trouble starting

A few days ago, I drove my TL to school and back. Then I parked it in the garage. About 20 minutes later, i had to go out again. I put the key in the ignition and it wouldn't start. It would start for like a second and then it would shut off. On the third time it barely started, I had to apply pressure on the gas pedal for it to start... Its been a 4 days now, and it hasn't happend again. Anyone know what happend? or what is the problem?

Thanks,

TL_RACER

Do you have any electrical work done to your car? Ex. Anything hardwired? Last time some poor shmuck hardwired my k40 that happened. Everytime the car got warm, the car just shut off. Cost me 300$.FUCKERS

Same thing with my car

My car will start and stutter and then shut off. It starts fine the next time. Is this something with the Fuel Pressure Reg? or is it the injection system. I believe some people had it here and not sure what it is..or is it ignition.

you know you can always clean out your injectors.. that always helps.. get some injector flush.. i like restore 2 in 1.. and read the back.. and basically go double what they tell you to.. so like if it says wait till you have 1/4 gas left.. wait till 1/8 . and then drive your car freeway miles. fill up as late as you can without running out. see if that helps
