Re: fuel system question



Are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.

Fuel accumulator pressurizes the system until RPM relay kicks in. Is
basically a can with spring loaded diaphragm. Diaphragm eventually
leaks (is a hose underneath looping back to fuel return line), leading
to no pressure until pump engaged. No problem then starting cold
because cold start valve compensates enough. Problem is starting hot
-- cold start valve inactive on a warm engine (thermistor switch). Can
force cold start valve on with warm-up regulator circuit (always 12v),
but car of course not driveable like that.

BTW: could JZD have picked a LESS accessible place to put the thing?
