Re: Hot Starts



A friend with an 84 Spider with 200K+ miles is having hot start trouble.
He has replaced Fuel Filter/Fuel pump/Fuel regulator/ Fuel hoses.
Car starts great when cold/ runs great/ When Stopped and 10mins-60mins goes by
the car has difficulty starting. Difficulty means from 10-25 trys before 
starting. It should only take two at the most.  Mechanic says that it is due 
to the loss of  fuel pressure.  Is it possible that an injector is leaking 
pressure down into a cylinder and not leaving any visible sign of leakage?   
Could it be even though recently replaced, the fuel pressure regulator.  Once 
the car starts it runs perfectly.

What to look for?
Thanks!
