Starting Procedures

[Peter Schulz]

Kerry:

Check for codes....if none consider residual fuel pressure...or lack thereof

Could be the fuel pressure regulator, the vacuum line to it, check valve on 
the fuel pump...
or leaking fuel lines.

After replacing vacuum lines, fuel pump, tank breather hoses, fuel filter, 
fuel pressure regulator, my Indigo wagon STILL has hot start/hot day 
starting issues....I think that the next step is to invest in a iso bubble 
flaring tool and start replacing fuel lines ( they look pretty ugly)
