My 09 would run great until I would park it for a day, then it would start and run for 5 sec then die. I would have to blead the injection pump. I thought I had a bad ip. Doing a lot of reading and talking with mechanics, I figured out my gas cap was not venting.
I soaked the gas cap in wd40 and pushed rhe valve open and closed until it would let air in but not out.
Its running great now, so if you go to fuel and hear a loud hissing when removing cap or have performance issues on a full tank, check your fuel cap before you start checking for more complicated fuel issues.
