I have a problem with the fuel supply the car normally runs ok but every now and then when you turn the engine off and try start it again it won't start .. but have found out if you disconnect the battery and then connect back up it starts straight away ...

Why do you equate that with a fuel supply problem?

The fuel guage is not working also .. I was thinking maybe the fuel supply problem as if I'm correct the fuel pumps are inside the tank with the float .. the guage went then this happened..so possibly the fuel supply ...

The two are extremely unlikely to be linked.

The Gauge does not read anything ... the issue is starting. It starts and runs without issues, then after about the third time starting, it then won't start. Disconnect and reconnect the battery, and it will start straight up...

Any ideas .. I was thinking fuel because it's since the guage went down ...

Thanks Mark

The gauge is not relevant, as long as there is fuel & it can get to the injectors, it matters not.

More likely you are disturbing something when disconnecting the battery that is loose & is what is causing the problem starting.

What EXACTLY do you mean when you say it won't start?

Is it turning over?

Is it turning over at full speed?

Is it slow?

Is nothing happening?

Is there just a click from the starter?
