Starts right up when engine is cool. Drive it till it warms up and shut it down 15 minutes and she won't start again. Almost sounds like a flooding sound. Tries to start, But it spits and sputters and dies right away. I did notice the fuel in the fuel rail was "warm" to "hot". I have to release the pressure in the fuel rail to get it to start again unless I let it cool down for 30 minutes. Thanks.

Hi:
When this happens, have you ever actually checked the fuel pump pressure at the rail? If you need to release pressure, it almost sounds like the regulator is bad. Also, have you ever checked to see if the car is getting a good hot blue snapping spark to the plugs? A weak ignition module can cause that and it won't be able to burn the fuel until it cools down.

Let me know. Also, let me know if the check engine light has come on.

No "Check Enigine"lights come on. I will try the fual pressure check. Have pulled the Vac. Tube off to "check" the regulator, But not wet with gas at all. Will try this 1st and get back to you. Thanks
