Well you're O for 1 so far. We don't know anything bout your vehicle. Much less anything else.

So you need to create a bi-line at your name and signature at the bottom. See others posting for ideas. Put in the year, tranny etc.....

Seems to me you have 2 issues. Your check ball in the tank is probably not sealing like so many others here. Allowing the fuel to drain back toward the tank between starts. You can witness this with a fuel gage after the engine is shut down. Pressure will drop off. You can also try KOEO for 3 seconds and then off then back to KOEO and so on for about 5 or 6 times before attempting to crank the engine. This will completely prime the fuel system.

However, you may also have a low res feedback problem from the opti causing the fuel pump and injectors to shut down. So scanning it is an absolute must.

Welcome to the board. Better luck on your second post.
