Re: V8Q Hot Start Problem

["R. Shayne Pavlic'" <bcpi@arias.net>]

Sorry for repetativenesss, but I have been gone.   Was this Audis problem
hard starting when hot, as well as dying when hot?  If so, then the problem
I have been haveing with my V8 (with almost identical milage) can now be
solved.  What part number did you order, if you have it handy?  What did you
pay for it?  TIA.  Shayne
