If you read, I stated that swapping the plugs does not allow it to start.

Everyone keeps telling me to use a proper guage. The only guage I could
obtain is one that cuts the flow off from 1 side and yet no one has been
able to state if i measured control pressure or the primary pressure.
I'm done guessing the problem. I still have a hot start, I've replaced
and checked the things people say, and yet it continues to happen.
