My apologies, for some reason my first entry happened without my completion - unknown cause ... just like my mystery.
Continuing from above ....
One issue that I know of:
The fuel tank will need to be replaced due to a broken vacuum line nipple that is permanently installed in the fuel tank. Thus I currently have an open system. The Chrysler dealer mechanic stated this as being a vacuum pump ... I am uncertain that this is the correct labeling of the part. This originally was a splashback issue.
What I have done about the starting issue:
Installed the following - Crank and Cam Shaft Position Sensors, Spark Plugs, Spark Plug Wire Set, Air Temp Sensor, EGR Valve, Both O2 Sensors, and a Starter Relay.
Everything that was done gave me about 2 to 4 perfect starts, then I was back to my original issue.
What I am trying to decide:
Should I install a Throttle Position Sensor, an Idle Air Control Valve, a PCV Valve, a MAP sensor, or and Ignition Coil?
The starter appears to do its job.
I am getting desperate about this issue. Could this be related to the fuel tank vacuum issue? I have been thinking that something is not telling the spark plugs to do their job until there is plenty of fuel there.
Ideas and thoughts would be appreciated immensely.
