Hi all-so on my recently acquired '82 DMC, I had an issue with the car stalling out when cold. Many folks-including Dallas DMC-said a likely culprit was the CPR. So I ordered one, installed it, and it solved the problem. However, it now shows a different issue: when WARM the car won't start. It will consistently start after a few cranks upon cold. If it stalls out in the first 3 minutes or so, it will still start. However, after about 3-5 minutes, it won't hold an idle, stalls, and then will turn over, but not start. Before installation of the new CPR, the car would stall out in the first 3-5 minutes consistently, but once warm, would hold an idle. Now, almost the opposite.

Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

You really need to start with doing a fuel pressure check to help you to find the problem. With such a short rest time when warmed up and no start, that is not a rest pressure problem. My guess would be the pressure check may show exactly what the problem is.
