Thumbs down No Start =-(

Well I couldn't get the ol' 9 to start this morning. I did have a thread yesterday where I thought my GP relay was taking a dump on me but I looked at it and it was still clean and I could hear it clicking... that would alert me that it would still be okay. The GPs are new with < 3K mi on them, Bosch brand.

Could I have gotten some bad fuel in there from the local station I fill from? If so, what sort of booster/additives are best in this situation?

Prior to this, the car is and was running great. I drove it yesterday after it did start and drove like normal. Didn't seem down on power at all. Just doesn't want to start easily.

Also, when I was trying this morning it sputtered a few times upon cranking but wouldn't stay running. I also had someone help and did see puffs of unburned fuel come out of the tail pipe so I'm confident it's getting fuel still too.



Any help is appreciated!
