Re: [DML] delayed acceleration problem

David,

Thanks for the tips. I'm wondering if it could be worth while to
permanently install a small fuel pressure gauge at the CPR. (Such a thing
could diagnose several problems such as bad CPR or a hot start/no start
problem.) Since I experience the problem only intermittently now, I could
use up a dozen or more copper seals installing/uninstalling my large fuel
pressure gauge from NAPA before the symptoms might recur. I hate to put
unnecessary wear & tear on the fuel line connections. Also, sounds like a
bad idea to leave the NAPA gauge connected since the long hoses could get in
the way of something.

If the problem is in the control pressure regulator, then how can it be in
the wiring? As I understand it, the wire is there only to heat up a
bi-metal strip inside the regulator. I assume it would take at least a few
minutes for the electrics to have any effect on fuel pressure. And by then
the engine would be warm enough that the symptoms would go away.

I never thought about checking the vent hose. Wasps around here love to lay
eggs in holes like that and pack them with mud.
