Default Re: Starting issues....RCM related?

Each time I would disconnect the battery and try it again.

After doing the "battery reboot" 3 or 4 times, I rolled it back into the road, which is level, and after 3 battery reboots (each with 3 good key turn/engine catch and die) it started right up.

My thoughts are leaning more towards the filter, thinking the debris may have settled with the car parked on the hill?
Unless you live in the third world you will not find the gas tank to be filled with crap these days. The three start routine points to the SKREEM in most cases.
