Re: Summer Heat, now hard starting Q

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.

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.

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.
