This has been happening since last couple of years. Car won't start under these circumstances. Engine cranks but no fire.
1. Start the car and pull out on the driveway and try to start it next day, it won't start. Driveway has a slope.
2. In winter, drove it back from the office on Friday and won't start on Monday. It started ok on Friday.
3. A cold day after an unusually warm day, car won't start.
4. While starting, if by chance I turn my key back off when the vehicle was about to start...it won't start the next try.
5. Left the car in the garage for 10days in winter...engine cranks, won't start.
All these situations have occurred more than once and here is what I do to start.
1. Take the fuel pump fuse out.
2. Crank the engine for few secs twice or thrice..sometimes it seems about to start.
3. See if I can start the engine just for few secs and then immediately insert the fuse back..and the vehicle starts with some hesitation.
Trying to find the cause for this...
Thanks a lot.
Probably not because the tool reads if the injector is getting pulsesw, not if it is sealing correctly when off. I'd try to take a look at the spark plugs to see if any have fuel on them after you crank once in no-start. "On the floor" likely would take longer because injectors are adding fuel while you are trying to remove it.
Ha there i think you a mager wireing prolbem or your ECM computer is short.

Yes, I did tried that, in fact it takes longer to start in that case and so after couple of trials I just take the fuse out. Is it possible to find out which injector is leaking by an OBD tool?.
Next time it happens put the gas to the floor and see if you get the same results you did by pulling pump fuse. It's possible that your injectors are leaking and flooding the engine while standing. In cranking with no fuel supply you are clearing cylinders.
