All,
Lots of threads about FORD relays (really?, would not any starter relay work) but this trouble is different. In the manual, it says to hold the accelerator pedal to the floor when starting a DJet, so I tried this. I would like to FIX this so I can start when the car is hot like a normal car (yea, I know it is not a normal car), has anyone made a modification to the instrumentation to fix this issue? Perhaps CHT modification? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Just to be clear- the Ford relay solution is for the starter not cranking when hot problem. As you say, this is different.
The next place to look is vapor lock. The early cars had the fuel pump in the engine compartment, where it would heat soak. Moving the pump to the front (as the factory did in later cars) usually solves that problem. If you’ve done that, then you’re left to figure out which component of the FI is being cranky. Others will have to chime in on that... I’ve had carbs since the 80’s (and I moved the fuel pump up front). My problem is more with cold starts in the spring and fall! Good luck. |
