[DML] Re: Lukewarm Temp Starting

["Jim Landry" <jimland@xxxx>]

I had the same symptoms and the fuel accumulator was the problem. When
I replaced the fuel accumulator I cut open (Warning!!! There is a very
strong spring inside the unit) the accumulator to see what was making
it not work. What I found was part of the rubber coating on the
diaphragm inside the unit had dissolved away allowing the fuel pressure
to equalize thru the diaphragm. What happened in my case was the car
had sat up a long time before I purchased it and the fuel had some
water in it. The fuel accumulator is the low point in the fuel system
so any water in the fuel eventually collected in the fuel accumulator
and deterioated the rubber in the diaphragm.
