[@Cynthia-u2i1p]

And this is what I just went thru getting a tune-up. I assumed I was getting fuel and air filters, and a PCV Valve but no, they told me that was extra after charging me $800 for a tune-up. Another $80 for an air filter and nothing more. Then after that my car was still not running right. Code P2004 a second time. I found a bad vacuum line myself that was causing my car problems. Check your vacuum lines.

2010 jaguar xf 5.0 doesn't throw a MIL(check engine light) with this condition (at least with beginning symptoms) and you just "have to know" based on symptoms here, the symptoms are identical, i go from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds flat but if im at 50 and press down hard on the gas, 4 seconds pass before the shift happens. The car also rocks back and forth intermittently when idle, especially at startup. Sometimes you just have to "go for it" especially when its a cheaper fix like a fuel filter

[@kwakuemma8382]

@easyautofix, my car (Opel Corsa D 2007 1.3 CDTi, a diesel car) cranks but does not start. It's able to start quickly when the mechanic applies petrol to the air intake holes or when the car is kick started. After that, the car runs fine with not issues. This issue starts again when then engine is turned off and I try to start. My mechanic said it could be faulty fuel pressure requlator/valve (CR/DRV). We've tried several different ones of the reqgulator and what happens it that the car starts normal but takes cranks for long before engine actually starts. What's your suggestion?

[@tiffanymamatuck431]

Could it be the fuel filter if, when I add a fuel treatment and gas, it stops doing it so bad for a few days?

[@Nicefoolkilla]

This made a lot of sense. My ford foucs mileage is horrible. When i fill up the dash tells me its 400 km til empty but i drove it one day really heavy for deliveries, and its consumed 2 quarters of gas in a single day! Like WTF! i sync a trip A with how mucn till empty and i only got 110 kms.

[@fineartonfire_5327]

When I gas up my van and start it to drive away from the pump it stutters like it’s running out of gas. It even died once. It only does this for a few feet. Then runs perfect until I fuel up again. Could this be a filter problem or pump? Or both?

[@corey7420]

I have all those issues I changed the fuel filter also did the thermostat and lost oil pressure last night I just changed the oil haven’t started it yet still letting oil settle than mine m checking oil level I know oil pressure loss might not come back but thought I’d try the basics before I play with sensors

[@brandonpinder7718]

SIMPLE... TO THE POINT... VISUAL ... FKIN! EXCEL-CENT VID... THANKS!

[@rickcunningham5581]

Change that fuel filter after 30 ,000 miles to be sure. If your fuel lines are close to the engines and its hot outside, sometimes the ethonal cooks in the fuel line and thats usually after it has set for 5 or 10 minutes. When you crank it up you really have to push the gas pedal to force out the air and get more fuel in.
