I thought the key might have a weak battery, but that wasn't it, and the clutch is all the way in when I start it. I did have the High Pressure Fuel Pump replaced recently. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I did a search, but didn't see anything.
I just saw the TSB on long starts (NUMBER: 11-130-13R), so I'm guessing that must be it? A problem with the cam shaft sensor? I'm really starting to worry about this car, as this will be the 4th time I've had to bring it in for warranty work. Does anyone know if they're extending the warranties on all these TSB's? My car is just up over 30k miles and seems to be having every recall problem possible. I'm shocked by how many little things are going wrong in the first 2 years of ownership.
