RE: Pressure regulator - Was: FI Start problems

[Cory Langford <cory.langford@icbc.com>]

An old trick to keep the fuel pressure elevated is to fab. a bracket for
the pressure reg. to stand if off the block so it thinks the car is
running cooler.  Arkay used this trick for their turbo setup.

Many of the old school rabits used this trick as a real cheap mod. 
Supposed to get better performance even on a stock setup, but I am not
sure on that..

Try unbolting your fuel pressure regulator from the block, hang it
somewhere out of the way, and try and re-create the warm start prob.
Every CIS injected car I have had does this...but not bad enough where
full throttle while cranking doesn't get it to start.

Had some interesting results when another listmember suggested a
heatsoaked fuel pressure regulator.  I couldn't get the problem to occur
with it not bolted to the engine block...proved the theory to me.
