My RHH engine C5 x7 with 255,000 kms has an intermittent starting issue.
This car has always started within 1-2 sec of the starter motor kicking over.
6 weeks ago I changed the fuel filter. I then started having intermittent starting issues.
What I have found is that when the car is parked on a slight incline with nose up, it'll take 10 sec or more of the starter turning over, before she fires.
I've now had two circumstances where the car started and within 20 sec dies. It then took the 10 or more sec of the starter turning before it refired.
No obvious codes.
Any thoughts on what may be going on? I suspect a failing fuel pump, just not sure which one and the fuel filter change was just a coincidence in timing.
