hi tom,

i had the exact same probem. i did all vacuum lines, but what made the real
difference was using a bottle of chevron techron injector cleaner
(concentrate) this really help (change oil after it is all thru system). i
also noticed that my fuel injection cooling fan was not coming on changed
stat on shroud near waste gate.but what i founnd that worked best is
installing a switch on the dash ( one of the spare slots adjacent to seat
heaters) so if your parked for 30 min or less just switch on cooling fan . i
did this as a test originally and noticed that it totally eliminated my hot
start problems (in conjuction with using techron before each oil change) so
i just left the switch in permanently.

if you want i can send a modified scematic and pic's.

hth,

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
