Re: Starting is such sweet sorrow

In order of probability I would start with the thermo-time switch. 
As for warm I would say the fuel accumulator. But these are just 
guesses. The only way to know is to go through the diagnostics. It 
is obviously fuel related and I would suspect not just a single part 
or system failure but two or more. Go to page 128 of the Technical 
Information Manual.
