When you say fuel pump??

Are you referring to the replacement of High Pressure Fuel Pumps or the in tank fuel pump?

I am in NZ and have just replaced the 2 HPFP's but still the rough starting when engine warm remains. Only happens after leaving the car standing for 3 minutes and longer then takes 2-3 seconds to start and is a bit rough. (No errors in computer).

When I bought the car it had been sitting on the forecourt for approx 6 months prior and it had 17 kilometres of fuel left in the tank so pretty low. I wonder if the dealer started the car regularly to charge battery and since they left it to run with low level of fuel in tank it may have caused either dirty fuel or in tank fuel pump burning out.

Thoughts?
