Out for dinner last night and the car was hard starting on the way home. Today it started right up in the morning, but was hard starting when I left gym. I was thinking fuel pressure, maybe the regulator, maybe the warm temps today were causing some condensation.
Because it was so beautiful here today, I decided to change the oil. While looking over the engine compartment, I noticed that the weatherproof fuse holder for the FI fuse was slightly discolored, but ignored it until I tried to start the engine, and it wouldn't start. I popped open the cover and found a totally toasty fuse welded into the holder. Upon closer inspection, the insulation on the wires was discolored, too. I replaced the holder and fuse, and the problem was gone. Lucky for me I was in the driveway when it finally failed. Keep an eye on those fuse holders, you never know when they are going to fail.
