Chris, Robert, Walter, Open the panel behind the passenger where the relays are, look up above where the black blank spot is and you might see a relay socket laying up there with no relay in it. The wire color should be black, blue/black and white/red. This is where the hot start relay goes. It's all three of my cars. 6935,6568 and 11004 If you need relays, I have them. Call if I can help.

The first time I started it in Austin it took five long cranks and then finally sputtered to life and ran poorly for the first minute. This continues now EVERY time I try to start it when its hot out. And, well, it's been triple digit temps all eight days I've been here. > > I, at first, accounted it as vapor lock but it does it even when the engine is cold. Then I thought maybe it's the Michigan gas, our votility levels are different than Texas due to our "unpredictable", and colder weather conditions. So, late last night I threw a fresh tank of premium in and gave her a few high speed rips up and down I- 35 but I haven't had the chance to drive it today. > > What would cause such a DRASTIC change in it's personality just because I moved into a hotter environment, and what can be done about it?
