I'm gonna bid on that, my car starts hard when hot, so I'm thinking it's either that or injectors. Soon enough we will find out as soon as the salt is gone! Good luck.

Thanks Dave..

so an FPR can cause hard starts when hot? 10 bucks is a hell of a deal for sure, are they hard to replace, just basicly the plenum off and fuel lines right? my car starts really hard when warm so im looking into possibilities

Invasion1 · February 28, 2006, 02:23:38 PM

bit more involved.

remove the:

upper intake
coolant lines from TB
PCV valve (back valve cover)
disconnect fuel lines

FPR sits and connects the fuel rails

you have to seperate the fuel rails to get the FPR out, by this you have to more or less remove the fuel rails from the lower intake mounting position.

a fairly involved job to say the least

Which means pulling all the injectors too....yuck, just for a FPR you THINK is going bad. Well, if you are doing injectors its okay, but it still sucks, especially if you don't get one seated all the way, ALL back apart... :x

Hey on the bright side, stock fuel line are a piece of cake to get on/off

R Dubya · February 28, 2006, 10:03:48 PM

yeah the injector rack isn't too hard to remove/service, after you've done it a few times it gets easier thats for sure.

If (when hopefully) I get this and get around to installing it I will be replacing all of my vacuum lines on the top end also.. I think after sitting for a few years the seals aren't what they should be. I get a hard start and raw fuel smoke when it's hot sometimes.. maybe the injectors are not holding pressure properly either. One way or another I'm gonna get this car 100% running this spring and hopefully get the body touched up afterwards.

Never skip replacing o-rings!!!
fire=bad
