RE: [DML] Early symptoms of a hot start problem?

Chris, 
Sounds like it is the beginning of the accumulator problem. Be careful in
stalling the NOS accumulator or you find that you will do it again in 2
years as soon as the seals wear out. They show up on ebay all the time for
$50.00 to $75.00 they are (-:((. ( NOS is not good here.)
Be sure to also check for any fuel leaks, injectors mainly and fuel pump
check valve. Last is the O Ring in the control pressure regulator.

Subject: [DML] Early symptoms of a hot start problem?

I have had my car for nearly five years and it has always started from hot
or cold on one crank.  

 

I have noticed recently though that if the engine has been run and I go back
to start it if you do a crank to start and let go there is now approximately
a one second pause and then the engine decides to then start but the pause
is long enough to make me wonder if is going to or not.  

 

Is something starting to finally wear and any ideas out there to what the
cause could be?

 

Could this be the early signs of a hot start problem?

 

Regards,
