hard start issue

[Ed Kellock]

My experience is similar.  Cold start was fine.  Subsequent starts during
the day required looooong crank time.  In my case, the check valve was
simply loose, apparently not torqued down properly in a previous valve
and/or pump replacement.

Curious, when mine went, the car would cold start but would crank a long  
time when trying to restart after it sat for an hour.

Thanks  Tony,

i'm still learning here, but isn't the point of the check valve  to keep 
fuel in 
the lines for cold starts? if it's fails, then the fuel  pump has to pump 
the 
fuel back up from the tank, hence the long  starts.

yes, it's cold starts - the car starts right up once  warm.

Hey Robby, I don't recall for sure  the start of this, but did you say you
have longer than normal cold starts  or hot starts? If it's cold starts, the
chack valve won't be suspect. If  it's hot starts, then the check valve or
the accumulator or the injectors  can cause pressure leak down.

BTW, could you trim the ends of your  posts, as Dan pays for usage based on
bandwidth, and the longer the post  the more it uses.

Not saying shorten the info you are puting out or  looking for, BTW, just
trip other than the previous post you are responding  to.

Tony
