hey everyone,
a while ago i posted that i seemed to have a hot start problem. i can drive the car locally and just drive around without shutting down, but if i do shut down, it becomes a real ordeal to restart. if i wait an hour or so, its no problem.
as usual, all of you tuned in with very useful, and knowledgeable advice. someone said start with fuel pressure if holds pressure after shutdown then my injectors were functioning fine. if not that try my coil.
so heres what happened. i got one of those fuel pressure rail gauges and installed it. i start my car and the pressure comes up to below 30lbs. when i shut it off, it drops to 0 right away. i have not gotten to the coil yet.
so, any ideas?
thanks!!!

try this and report back. this should tell use where the problem is. once we find this out and get it fixed we will move on if this doesnt fix it.

Fuel System Check Up
