[urq] Starting and running after hot start

[Brandon Rogers]

Not to nit-pick - but I would consider that a "warm" start problem.  Back
when I had CIS (6 yrs!!) - my car had a warm start problem. It would start
right up no problem after sitting for a few minutes (hot start) but give it
a half hour and it would start hard, idle rough.

My memory is fuzzy but here are my thoughts:  

Check your fuel pressures - might need to rebuild the plunger/o-ring set in
the fuel distributor.
Fuel check valve (can't remember if this is in the accumulator or pump)
Fuel accumulator
Leaky injectors?
Injector fan working? - does it have the hole cut out to send air to the
fuel lines?

Don't forget to pressure test for vacuum/boost leaks.  #1 cause of problems
IMO.

Hi everyone.  

My 83 URQ has developed a "hot startint" problem lately.  Cold starts are
fine.  However, when I get to my destination, park the car for an hour or
two, come out start it, it starts, but it will not run (idle).  I can keep
it going (heal and toe type thing). But the other day I stalled at an
intersection, so I had to wait for about 15 to 20 minutes before it would
star again.  I managed to get it home, but before I turned off, I checked to
see if it would idle.  It did as it normally does.  I thinking perhaps a
couple of leaking injectors??  Would appreciate any input from anyone. 
Thanks in advance.
