ohhh......more probs.....i think it's fuel system related....



Maybe you got the lines mixed around ; )  Just kidding, you can't mix them
up.  BUT, if you are trying to find a starting problem it won't be with the
injectors or the lines unless you have plugged lines or leaking injectors.
Another hardstart symptom is if the spray pattern is messed up and the
injector is just shooting a stream.  I'd look closer at your cold start
system if I were you.  Sounds like you might have warm-up regulator problems
or a leaky cold start valve.  Maybe even a goofy temp sensor/thermo time
switch.  HTH!!
