RE: [DML] Re: Stalls after starting

That's interesting John. Now I've got to speak up and my twists to this
situation.

I've been monitoring this thread because I have similar issues after my 30k
miles service, and leaning my car out. I've probably leaned it out tooo
much, but I was trying to find out why I only get 15 city mpg; how hard I
drive makes almost no difference.
Early morning or four hour parked starts smell very gassy and run rough,
almost bad timing-like. I did have a bad vacuum hose on the timing advance
unit, but that is fixed. I'm thinking something else is losing vacuum and it
takes time to build it back up after starting? Say the system loses vacuum--
how long does it take the system to get it back up? And if you lose vacuum
in one part, does it effect other parts, like the air mode switch?
Hmmm, reminds me that last summer I had starting issues if the car had been
sitting in the hot sun for all day. Never did solve that, it just became
less of an issuel. Is that the fuel accumulator? Could that be working in
tandem or is that my real problem?

As David says the CPR ( Control Pressure regulator ) Warm up regulator could
be going bad, but also the 02 adjustment could be adjusted to lean not
allowing the control plunger in the fuel distributor to rise high enough. If
it doesn't rise then very little or no gas goes to the injectors. If you try
to start it and it dies, Then pull a plug as fast as you can and see if it's
wet or dry.

The first thing that comes to mind would be to check the control
pressure regulater aka the warm-up regulater.
