Originally, I had thought it did, but it did nothing. We are basically in the same position as my MAF is only a few months old, as well as my fuel filter, the only thing is that my fuel pump is the original one. In my case, I notice that my car replicates this cranking and not starting issue when my gas needle is about 1/4. I have never had this problem when my tank is well above the 1/2 mark. At the initial startup (let's say when I re-enter my car after running a quick errand), the car will start up and then immediately shut off unless I give it gas. This problem does not make any sense because after about 5 minutes the car starts back up as if nothing just happened. I just do not understand because I only use 93 octane, and use injector cleaner and anything else that helps my car clean up any potentially bad fuel that may enter my car. I was looking into replacing the fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator, and getting my fuel lines and so on looked at but I'd hate to just throw money at parts and see no results. Keep me updated!
