I saw them trade out the Primary Pressure Regulator and the same problem persisted after the swap. I could only conclude that the fuel distributor was defective internaly and was leaking inside. As it turns out they changed the distributor and fired up the car and it held pressure! I have not had the hot start problem since and it appears to have stopped surging which was a sympton that it had when you first started the car on a cold start. I am not convinced that the fuel distributor was really defective but all of the evidence certainly points in that direction. If I can be of any further asistance please do not hesitate to contact me. Scot 6452
