Previous complaint of no start condition-dealer suggests new fuel pump at an estimated cost of 1000.00. i have determined that fix relates to a faulty gas cap. it puts the fuel system in a deep vacuum on a hot or warm restart, this part cost 6.60 at the local parts store. i can't believe that the dealer overlooked this and charged me 72.00 for a fuel pressure test and then tried to sell me a 1000.00 job by shotgunning in a part! *ak | |||
