Hard warm start.......

[PeterBergin at aol.com]

You might have a failing fuel pump check valve.   When mine  failed years 
ago it would always cold start, but would take several minuets to  start 
after the car had been shut off for 1/2 hour.  You can carefully test  to see if 
you still have fuel pressure by loosening a fuel line after the car  has 
been shut off long enough to trigger your problem.  If no fuel squirts  out, 
it is likely the check valve.  Not a terrible job if you have the fuel  pump 
wrench and en empty fuel tank.
 
Good luck.

After  all my bragging about the reliability and longevity of my'91 20 valve
it  has began resisting starting when warm. Cold, it fires right up and  
idles
just right. Warm, it cranks and cranks and if I goose the gas and  fiddle
with it, it will start rough and then runs just fine  immediately.  I did
recently clean the Idle stabilizer valve with carb  cleaner, and wonder if
the juice got to the electrics. I haven't yet  checked the valve for
continuity but thought a ping here might  help.



Any BTDT.....
