2002 Oldsmobile Intrique starting problem.
Engine size 3.5 v6
dash lights = SES
work done to repair = tune up spark plugs and wires fuel filter
tip/donation yes
tech = jk
question = 2002 Oldsmobile Intrique is hard to start after it is warmed up.
It cranks a long times then stalls and dies out. Have to start it again
and rev it up, then it idles good. Also my gas mileage seems to be
lower than normal. Is there a common cause for my problem?

Thank you for the tip / donation
By what you describe, this sounds like one of two common problems.
Either the fuel pressure regulator is leaking fuel and causing a rich
condition. This will cause the engine to flood out.
Or since the check engine light is on, you will need to get the system
scanned for codes. You may have a trouble code like "P1374" for the
"crank shaft position sensor".
First step is to get the system scanned to see what code is stored. If a code
for the crank position sensor, then it will have to be replaced.
I will send pics of the location of the fuel pressure regulator and the crank
position sensor. Let me know what you find.......

Thank sooooooo much !. The fuel regulator was leaking. Got it replaced
and the code for a rich oxygen sensor cleared, now it starts and idles
perfect. You guys were GREAT !
Great pics !
