Do you have a lemon law in Indiana?
The dealership here is completely useless. We only have one here in indianapolis and they had it for an entire month. At first they said hpfp so those were replaced. Then they said o2 sensor but did nothing about it because the following week they said it's the cats. Then the following week they said it's the alternator. And then I finally said screw it and picked the car up when they called me and told me my motor mounts were throwing the fuel codes......

would need the codes.
If you don't have the ability to read the codes you should probably get it. RossTech makes a good one.

i ordered a ross tech cable this week it just hasn't come yet lol. but yesterday it wouldn't even start so I tested the low pressure pump and its dead. just picked one up from the dealer. so in the future if anyone has this issue it could very well be the low pressure pump not providing enough fuel from being weak.

just a quick update guys. I finally got my rosstech cable and was able to scan it. I was getting a fuel pump short circuit. I used a power probe to jump the in tank fuel pump with 12volts directly and it did absolutely nothing. So I went to the dealer and purchased an OEM pump. Put it in, cleared the codes and all is well so far. I will be getting my money back for the other pump that I had JUST replaced at the end of November.
If anyone else runs into these symptoms, check your in tank fuel pump under the rear seat!!
Thank you all for your assistance and suggestions!

As mentioned on your other thread:
Great to hear that you got this awesome car, not so about the codes though. Here is what could be helpful to check to narrow down the problem:
16471/P0087/000135 - Ross-Tech Wiki
18725/P2293/008851 - Ross-Tech Wiki
Let me know how you get on or anything else you need help with. In any case checking it all with VCDS or similar and posting here is a great way to get help or feel free to contact me directly.

I'm assuming the new fuel pump fixed the issue?
