Can fuel injection engines be primed with "Quick Start" to start engine.
If so, how is it done?
I had a Mobile Repair Tech come to my trailer to find out what caused this problem. He tested the fuel line and found the fuel pump to be working and
after reconnecting the fuel line the car started immediately.
I feel that the problem points to the fuel injectors,
but do not have the tools to check it out.
When the engine starts it will continue to run.
I just replaced the 195 degree thermostadt with
a 180 degree thermostadt which is not related to the starting problem that I have.

The only sure way to rule out the fuel pump as the problem is to perform a fuel pressure test. When it does run-does it misfire-if so you can blame the injector/s could be dirty-run a fuel injector cleaner and see what happens.
