Once the car starts it runs smoothly and never shuts down. I have this problem and found this solution which I will try [ Ссылка ]. My battery has full charge, and this happens mostly in cold weather or rain. However, it has happened in warm weather as well. Most times, this car starts like new; no problems at all. Then, when this happens it takes anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes to start. Sometimes weeks go by and the failure does not repeat. I will update on the solution suggested in the link and let you know how it goes. I am not a Mechanic, if you plan to work on your car of this video and my comments is at your own risk.

Update Feb-20-14 - One week has gone since replacing the fuel pump relay as suggested in the link, and the problem has not come back. Will update again in three more weeks.

Update Mar-11-14 - One month has passed, and the problem happened once more. I oppened the hood, took the fuel pump relay out and back in. Turned the ignition, and the car started right away. Next update will be at three months.

Update May-11-14 - After three months the failure has not happened again besides the occasion mentioned in the update from Mar-11-14. Next update will be at one year.

Update Feb-28-15 - After one year the problem happens every now and then, but I always fix it by just pulling the fuel pump relay out and back in. Therefore, the problem is in the connection of the relay box to the relay; and not the relay itself.

I hope this is helpful for anyone facing this problem.

Cheers,
