I have the same complaint as #10244065. My 05 colorado at times will not start i'll try it over and over, after about 20 minutes. It will start and run as if there were no problem. I have had the fuel pump and fuel vilter changed. No help. Now it is happening at least twice a week. No one seems to have an answer. *tw
