they're known to have fuel pump issues, and cps issues, among other things. have you had the recalls and service bulletins done? do you let the fuel pump prime before you start it?

 

[bobo23]

i have tried that and it doesnt really help any

have to go with the lady. it's probably your fuel pump or crank sensor. i've replaced both in my spec, twice.

I actually have that problem in my 04. Pretty sure its just the fuel pump. Just dont have the time or drive to fix it lol

 

[bobo23]

i guess im gonna go ahead and replace the fuel pump
people say it can be hard any sug?

 

[b15chik]

if you're just replacing it with a stock one, it's no big deal. it's located under the back seat, just try not to have too much gas in the car when you do it

If the Service Engine Soon light is not on and you hear the starter cranks then it is your fuel pump. If the light IS ON you should scan the ecu for the code(s), it will most likely be you crank shaft positioning sensor wich is probably a recall you should repair at the dealer at no cost. i suggest swapping the engine (sr20)
VQ25 brings too many problems. i havent stopped fixing this car since the day it was purchased

My sister's car had the same problem, she had to take it to the dealership to get it fixed... luckily it was still under warranty.
