So the other day I was running an errand - car started and ran fine on the way out, but when I came out, the engine tuned over but it wouldn't start for the longest time. Finally it did, and once it did it ran alright until I turned it off again. Then the same thing happened again.
During all this I checked the oil and it was very low (face-palm) so God knows what condition my turbocharger is in. I'm also getting a small bouquet of error codes (p0036, p0136 and p0236) but even if my turbocharger rotor was welded into place and my oxygen and mass air flow sensors were sending absolutely bogus data, I'd expect the car to start, but run like crap, which is exactly not what I'm seeing.
A little reading suggests that long hard starts are often a fuel pressure issue. Anything else I should put on my "look at soonest" list for diagnosing this?
