Jason, The fuel accumulator is $99.00 and can last no telling how many years. I put mine on 5 years ago and it still works fine, some of the factory originals are still on and working, even though I must admit they are beginning to fail now. I applaud the Temporary fix to over come the accumulator problem, but it's not that expensive and will give you years of proper service. The Hot start relay should only be used in case of emergency and was conceived to keep from getting out of the car to switch the wires to get started. John hervey http://www.specialtauto.com/
