No it hasn't been starting for me and I didn't have a quarter of a tank of gas but as I powered the car on before trying to start the car I checked to see if I could hear the fuel pump motor and I was able to but I was not aware that you needed to keep at least a quarter tank of gas in the car at any given time and I was wondering if that could be part of why it isn't starting still?
