[V8] Hot Start problems - but starts when floored

[Tony and Lillie]

The thing is, it might be out of tolerance cold, but come back into tolerance when warm. So, you would have the rich starting cold, but be fine when warm. There is an ohms check for those sensors at various temperatures, I believe it's in the manual. I also know it's in the V8 service guide, which I believe someone may have scanned.
