[DML] Re: cold starting

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Replace the RPM relay. By turning the key on and off you ran the fuel
pump before starting the motor. This built up pressure in the fuel
system before you tried to start the motor. Now when you tried
starting the motor it already had fuel so it fired right up. The RPM
relay is supposed to pulse the pump when you turn the key to on and
then stop until the engine is cranking and running to keep the fuel
pump from running if the motor is not running. Your RPM relay is not
giving the fuel pump that first "pulse" long enough to pump up
pressure. By turning the key on and off a couple of times you got the
pump to run longer to build up system pressure. The other (remote)
possability is a collapsed suction hose. Maybe before you replace the
RPM relay you should inspect inside the fuel tank and all the fuel
system components inside. Drain and wipe out the dirt, make sure
everything is properly positioned, in good condition, and the hose is
not soft or kinked.
