Intermittent starting issues

[HummerMann]

Had a similar problem with my old H3 and the fuel pump was the culprit. I had to crank it for two or three minutes to get it to start. It was putting out pressure, but not enough. It didn't happen all the time and every now and then would start normally. The fuel pump was replaced under warranty and I never had that problem again.

Do you have a remote starter installed?

Thanx for responding. I do not have remote start. Also, I'll tell the the dealer about fuel pump but it won't be covered under warranty if pump still works.
The only other thing additional is that the security icon light came(pad lock with key) on for a few hours then went off twice.

It could be your battery...

Be certain to remove your key whenever you park even in your own garage.

Thanx for the responses, Im going for a new fuel pump and let ya know the outcome.By the way, battery is new. Fuel pump relay is new.
Can any one recommend headlight bulbs?(H13) I want to go a lot whiter but not HID. Thanx

I just had what sounds like the same problem with my 2006 H3.It would start and then just shut off.Would turn the key and nothing.Waited 5mins it would start,run fine, then stop.Then when it started it would run fine for days then it would do it again.Took it to the dealer they ran test and it was the computer which is covered under emissions for 8 years 80000 miles.They replaced for free now everything is fine.Hope this helps.
