Greetings all.


My van doesn't start as well as it use to when it is hot. Sometimes it
fires up as soon as you turn the key, but mostly it cranks about 3 times
now. Until recently it always fired on the first crank. If I switch the
ignition on, hear the pump, turn it off and then crank it over, it fires
right away. It feels like not enough fuel. Have checked the volume of
the pump, 30 seconds in a container. Is as the Bently specifies. I,m
wondering if my system loses pressure when it is hot, or a carbon
buildup absorbing fuel at startup. Anybody had similar symptoms? Any
info would be appreciated.
