Re: car starts rough after pumping gas

The fuel pressure should be 58psi.

Why do you "pump gas"? Do you mean you try and rev the engine to keep it running after it "starts perfect"?

Leaky fuel injector, maybe sticking? When the engine has just been shut off, with the fuel lines still pressurized, maybe gas is loading up one cylinder? Just a guess, I suppose if you had a scanner you could see what cylinder might be misfiring.
