Help - hard to start when hot

posted by  someone claiming to be aal on  Sun May 18 08:07 CST 2003 [RELATED]

(I guess my last attempt didn't go through)

My 1982 242 turbo now is very hard to start when hot. Cold starts are no problem; it starts right up. After the car has been driven awhile and sits for awhile, however, it takes a lot of cranking to get the car started. It feels like no fuel is getting through to the cylinders.

I did just replace the accumulator. This is what my mechanic thought the problem probably was, but this doesn't seem to have helped.

Does anyone have any advice? Thanks.
