RE: [DML] Hot Start Problem

I had this. To the point where I would flatten the battery. Eventually a wise old Volvo mechanic told me that this was a problem with the leaking injectors. We replaced all these and the problem is a lot better...although not perfect.

Subject: [DML] Hot Start Problem


Hello all,
I recently installed a new fuel pump. The car has run fine the last week, 
but does have a strange hot start problem.

If I drive to town, the engine warm, then park and shut off the engine for 
5-6 minutes, then the car starts right up as it should!

Then, if I drive to town, the engine warm, then park and shut off the engine 
for 10 minutes + , then the car is very hard to start. I have to crank it at 
least 3 or 4 times before it fires up!

Does anyone have any idea to what causes this?

I would guess that if I really had a serious hot start problem (fuel 
accumulator problem), then it wouldn't even start when I parked on short 
times or start at all. Point is, eventually I do get it started its just 
very slow. I thinking of fuel pressure. Ideas anyone? Since the fuel pump is 
new, I also doubt that it can be a leaking check valve.

Best wishes
