Hey guys, need help. While i was trying to park my car, i guess i let go of the clutch too quick. The car died. Tried starting it and i got crank but no start. All of my fuses are good. I could hear the fuel pump prime when i turn the key on. Pinched the fuel hose on the filter and it has good pressure. Spark plugs, cap, rotor and fuel pump are new. I gave up trying to start it, pushed it into a spot and went home. 8 hours later, i was think i could just give it another try. It just started right up ! What could it be guys ? Car has 170k. how do i check the distributor, crank angle sensor, maf ? Sometimes the car would start up with a CEL. But never got around looking into it because soon as i drive off it goes away. Anybody else has this problem ?

check ECU for Codes

Almost sounds like the CTS

yeah, start the car, let it warm up and let it die out, go under the hood and disconnect the coolant temp sensor, it has a red 2 pin connector, after you disconnect it try to start the car, if it starts up then there ya go
