Long Starts

[cobram at juno.com]

This is a common problem on the Turbos when the mileage and the age get
up there.  Change the Fuel Injectors and your problems should be solved.

They're not that hard to change, plenty in the archives and the Bentley
covers
the fuel system in detail.  Just be careful with the injector cooling
shroud (if so
equipped), they get brittle with age.

Get a copy of the Probst book on Fuel Injection or check out:
http://www.students.tut.fi/~hezekiel/bosch.htm
to get a feel for the system, should address technical questions.
Lots of other links if you check the root URL.

You can pre-pressurise the lines, but it'll have to be done by bringing
up
the throttle plate manually while jumping the fuel pump relay.
