Hi jljbtm,

I certainly understand why this would be concerning. If this continues to occur and you end up addressing it with your dealer, please know that we are more than happy to provide you with an additional layer of support for that process. We're just a PM away.

If you have a leak in your fuel system somewhere, the pressure bleeds off overnight and it won't be enough to fire the injectors until the fuel pump jacks it back up. Next time it sits overnight (or a few hours), try turning the key to ACC and listening for the fuel pump. Let the fuel pump run until it stops (which means the system is pressurized) and then try starting it. The first time you cranked it today, it may have not had enough pressure in the fuel system to fire the injectors. When you tried again, it may have had time to build up enough pressure.

Johnny I did figure it out turns out it is an old worn-out relay fuel pump relay and I simply used to jumper wire in the fuse box to fix it it might be a temporary fix but it's fine

Glad you got it figured out! Thanks for sharing the fix. Might help someone else down the road... :)
