this time was a bit different because it did not sputter, cough and then start up on its own. Today the starter had a strong start after I let go of the key which would continue for maybe 5 seconds and then stop on its own. I restarted 5 times and the strong start lasted about the same time and then shut off.

I did not hear the fuel pump humming.

any suggestions ?
