Problems with the Gas
Hey everybody.. Im currently kind of stumped of whats causing my gas problems. I have an 04 auto. Lately my car takes is taking longer to start after i pump gas into it. The other day it didn't even want to start.. it took me like 5 tries cranking it and then it started. I think im getting less gas mileage also..And sometimes the gas gauge will go up slowly after driving a short while. it will only go up a like one dash though. Thats basically it. My car starts fined every other time its only when i get gas. Im not really a car expert but i heard that maybe a bad fuel injector can cause this idk..something wit the gas pump? or cat is dying? Anyone with any help? i would really appreciated

How many miles? Do you have the newer style starter motor? This normally means the compression is low. Have you had a compression test done? How many miles on plugs,coils? Have you done a decarbon cleaning?

well now that i think about it, sometimes it would do that after its been off a few minutes other than just at the gas station. but rarely like once every week. And yeah i drive it alot. BUT only at the gas station after i put gas it takes longer to start and one time it didnt start after 5 tries. Lets see, all the cold starts seem pretty fine.
