Yep, the plague of hot start problems has gotten to my car too!
So, basically my car is a bit hit or miss right now. Cold, car seems to start right up with no issues.
Get the car nice and hot (cooling fans have cycled). Shut the car off, and sometimes it almost will not start if about an hour goes by. For the first time in years, I had to resort to swapping the the CSV plug for the WUR plug. The longer time goes by, the greater the chance the car will start.
If it does start though with a warm engine, it can be REALLY rough at first - like - I swear not all my cylinders are firing at first, and then, the car smooths out really nicely and all is well. The longer the car sits, the less likely this will occur, or the longer I wait to try to start the car, the duration of the car "idling rough" will decrease.
Anyhoo, thoughts everyone? PPR O-rings, fuel accumulator, check valve, WUR ....? Any way to test each of these to see if they're faulty ?
