I think I found my hot start problem... If I get the car good and warm, shut it off and go into a store or something, it will not restart unless I let it sit for 30 minutes or so. I initially thought I was vapor locking, but it would happen on relatively cool days (75 degrees). I decided to try something else, because it didn't "feel" like vaporlock, it felt like flooding. So, I visegripped the fuel line to the cold start injector. I haven't had the problem since.
What controls the cold start injector firing? The car isn't running rich all of the time, so I think the injector is turning off appropriately, but what causes it to fire at all? Thanks |

Unplug and cap the fuel line on the rail, and unplug the wire to the injector. You won't need it in TX. Then install a fuel pressure gauge on the fuel rail.
