Hot start-wont start

[Peter Schulz]

Ok, here's a good one for the brain trust..

I've replaced the pump with the new style one, replaced all the 
brittle vent hoses around the pump,  replaced the FPR and had the 
injectors cleaned, balanced and blue printed by Marren motorsports.

Still have a hot start issue...

I'm considering figuring out how to put a supplemental inline check 
valve on the pump...
