what would a bad fuel accumulator do?



Hello guys,

as a summary, my symptoms are:
1. hard starting when cold
2. somewhat hard starting when warm, but MUCH easier
3. engine dies sometimes even after being warm
4. RPM's flow from 1000 to 500 when idling. as it approaches 500 every time, 
the engine nearly quits but it surges back up like it should.
5. extremely high fuel pressure - over 100 psi, probably closer to 130 or 
greater.
6. recently had a fuel line leak near the accumulator. i do not know if it 
was a hose that connects to it or where exactly it was. i had the car towed 
and 'they fixed it'. i had problems starting the day the leak happened. it 
could have happened before or after i had trouble.

do these symptoms or problems have a good relation to what happens when you 
have a failed fuel accumulator? i am still trying to figure all of this out.

thanks as always,
Andy
