Yesterday my Volvo randomly developed a starting issue. When you go to start the car, it cranks like usual but on the second crank it fails to turn over unless I accelerate a little. (The first time this happened , it barely turned over and then the RPMs started to drop until the check engine light came on and I accelerated. After that though the check engine light went away)
After the car starts, it runs and idles perfectly fine. I haven't had the chance to properly diagnose it yet, but I do know the following:
I don't hear the fuel pump prime when I turn on the ignition
So far it has only happened with a warm engine, a cold start has been fine.
I was thinking that it could be the fuel pump or the fuel relay, but surely if those were faulty, the car would have problems during normal driving as well....right?
I've tried to google it, but, it seems that nobody has had the same issue that I've had. If this question has already been answered, then please do link me. Similarly, I'm open to suggestions as well, so feel free to share
Thank you
Edit: Started it this morning and it started up fine. So it could be a warm engine start issue, I'll test it after driving it later.
