Fuel pump on these cars doesn't turn on until the engine starts to crank (which is why it is common for them to have to crank a little bit longer than many other vehicles). How long do you crank it the first time? How lond do you wait between tries?

Well Idk about the fuel pump. I was literally at a gas station, just filled up, and it wouldn't start. I can catch it in gear, and thats what I did. But I cant do that all the time so this needs fixed.

Ill still try "Turn the key to the on position and wait for 5 seconds then turn it off do it again a second time but this time turn the engine over. " that. But idk.

If it wouldnt start on a full tank idk...
