It seems to get poor mileage when this is happening and if i cycle key 2 times it fires right up if i dont it will take 6 or 7 tries.

Have you cleaned the throttle body?

Not sure I completely understand your post.

Put the key in the "on" position without starting and wait 5 seconds then turn it over. If it starts right up it's most likely the fuel pressure regulator causing the problem.

You fuel pressure regulator is probably bad. It is letting the fuel drain back into the tank from the fuel rail. The fuel pressure reg. is on top of the fuel pump assembly in the tank. It is best to just replace the whole fuel pump assembly. Cycling the key a few times gets the primes the fuel pump and gets it back up to the fuel rail. That's why it starts like normal if you cycle the key a few times before you crank it over.

Yes i just turn key on then all the way off then on and off starts right up if i just get in and try to start it cranks and takes more cycles to fire up. I filled tank now it seems to fire right up but what does this have to do with mileage if anything?
