1982 Coupe:Hot Start Issues

[DBF]

Rob, believe it or not, I've done that.  One thing I haven't done though, is
take the CSV out of the manifold and see if it's leaking.  I have run with
it disconnected before and to be honest, it made no difference at all, even
with cold starts.  I'm still not convinced I've solved the issue with the
primary pressure regulator in the fuel distributor.  For instance, this
morning she flashed right up.  I drove it for errands, complete with 2-3 hot
starts, no problem.  Parked it in the garage and started fiddling with an
electrical issue (all 4 turn signals were very dim, turns out to be a
defective 1157 bulb!!!), and while doing so started it 6 times maybe to
check the lights, with no problems.  I just came in from the shop and while
there I started it and it was a bitch.  Been sitting for 3 hours and was
still hard to start.  So, it is intermittent at best and is very
frustrating.  Anyway, thanks for your suggestions.

Dan
