Haven't seen the car. I can usually hear the pump run from the driver's seat in our 9-3, so that's the first thing I'll check. Since it won't start when cold I figure it's not the CPS. I'll take my code reader anyway! And a DI.
The kid & car are about 20 miles away, so maybe I can look at it this weekend. He said it won't start at all and he doesn't have AAA so he can't easily get it to a tech. The pump is a PITA to do since the tank has to be dropped. Really lame design not to have a cutout in the floor like on a 9K.
I don't remember if he got a CEL or not--I was talking to him through my daughter who was texting or emailing him.
I hope I can help him out. I don't think he has much money so it'd be nice to find an affordable fix, but if it's the pump it could be hard for him. I'm surprised the tech he went to was having trouble diagnosing, but who knows!
About half of my kids' friends seem to come to me for automotive questions!
Thanks!
