Warm start issues

[vince@performancecarstereo.com (Vince Royer)]

Hey guys,

I have an '82 1.7L 8v.  It's had this problem ever since I first drove it.
It always starts good when it's cold, though it doesn't "high idle" (are
they supposed to?)   If I warm it up, shut it off, and try to start it
within an hour, that's when I have problems.  It cranks, cranks and cranks,
stumbles a bit, cranks some more.  Sometimes it seems like it's going to
start, but then it quickly dies right away. after cranking it for a little
while, it always eventually starts.  Then it idles really rough for a few
seconds, then all of a sudden smooths out.  otherwise the car runs like a
top.  Super smooth, lots of power, revs great.  I've always sorta figured it
must be a residual fuel pressure thing that I'll never figure out.   Any
takers?

Thanks guys

Vince
