2.4 Cranks but won't start
The 2.4 is not starting. It cranks and acts like it's going to start, it will be turning over and then stumble as if it briefly just fired and tries to start and the engine stops and then goes back to cranking and doing the whole thing all over. Never had this problem before, it's like it's out of gas. The car has sat for a while but I've been using it for short trips around town like beer and groceries. Oil is good, new Denso iridium plugs fresh gas.
I went out after work to get a sub sandwich the other night and left the car running (I don't see the need to turn your car off for 10 mins of time) I come back out and it's off. I started it back up and it immediately died. Then I started it again and gave it some gas and it fired up, drove it home and hasn't started since. It smells like gas when you crank it but I do not hear the fuel pump prime when I put the key in the on position. Not sure what else to add or mention. Any one have this issue before? New outlander manifold last winter and valve cover/tube seal gaskets. I'm thinking coils or fuel pump... ?
