Uh oh. Warning sign?
Started car yesterday afternoon — had already driven an hour earlier — and within 5 seconds, experienced RPM surge/fluctuation/flutter and engine shut off. Restarted (2x with extended crank to eventually turn over) and engine shut off again.
Decided to try the ol' "Reboot Trick" by getting out of car, locking it, and waiting a minute. Car then started right up and everything was normal. Thoughts? |

Could be the low pressure fuel pump taking a dump.
See if it has codes stored, as previously suggested. Keep us posted. |

Question is, now what do I do about it? Does this mean HPFP is failing or just one-time glitch? |

It's possible that it's a tune related glitch but I wouldn't chance anything with the high pressure side. I think our 2013's use an older HPFP which has known issues. Might want to replace for peace of mind. I would agree with the above statement to remove the tune for a day or two if possible and see if it still acts up. Either way, if it's the pump causing the issue, it might not show itself with the tune "off" versus when it might be working harder turned "on".
A more proper diagnosis would be to follow the test plan in ISTA for those codes. Monitor low and high pressure on cold start, etc. |

Just a thought that the fuel filter may need replacing if it was spluttering.In US cars it's in the fuel tank as far as I know accessible from removing the rear seat.Could be debris being sucked into partially clogged filter making the pump work harder and with the tune also,even more. Don't let the fuel drop more than a 1/4 tank and I think it's worth looking into this, not such a hard and complex job.

I believe the EU6 injectors came out in 2014, (ref. the link below to verify your particular build date. Dump a bottle of Redline SI-1 fuel injector cleaner with a fresh tank of premium from your favorite top-tier gasoline (Costco for me), and see if it goes away or not. If not, you may need to change the injectors; (haven't heard good things about the previous EU5 injectors.)
