I dont know... If it were parked over night its OK but parked for a few 
minutes its not? I would think that if it were a faulty checkvalve, the 
bleed down time overnight would create excessive cranking in the morning 
and not have anything to do with hot start problems.
Id be looking at injector seals or spray pattern maybe?
