When the engine's hot, starting is a pain. With the engine hot, and the
car having sat for a couple minutes, I hold the gas pedal to the floor, spin
the starter, gradually the engine begins to catch, after 10-15 seconds of
cranking, maybe it reaches a point where the engine will turn without the
starter, and off we go. If the car has been sitting for a 5-10 minutes, no
amount of cranking will start it. Leave it 10 - 15 minutes and it starts
first time, no problem.
Is this about heat creating a vapor lock in the fuel line? Any solutions?
