OK, I have finally replaced all the vacuum lines and the temp head sensor on our 82 and the engine is still hard to start when it is hot. Although, it is better about not dying when I let of the accelerator, like at a light or something. When I try to start it the engine turns over and over and over and I feather the accelerator pedal and finally it starts and I have to feather the pedal a little more until the revs get up and then it's OK. If it were a carb'ed engine I would think it was flooding as that what it acts like but I don't smell fuel. When the engine is cold it fires right up no problem. What should I check next?
