RE: FI Start problems

[Night Shadow <soltwede@privateI.com>]

Try unbolting your fuel pressure regulator from the block, hang it
somewhere out of the way, and try and re-create the warm start prob.
Every CIS injected car I have had does this...but not bad enough where
full throttle while cranking doesn't get it to start.

Had some interesting results when another listmember suggested a
heatsoaked fuel pressure regulator.  I couldn't get the problem to occur
with it not bolted to the engine block...proved the theory to me.
