New fuel pump + accumulator = Hot start issue
1977 911s
I'm kind of a newbie here but have spent a lot of time searching. I've kind of run into a wall and am looking for some advice.
I've replaced both of the major items that seem to cause the problem for most. The fuel pump was noisy anyway so I thought it wouldn't hurt.
Just to recap for anyone not acquainted with the issue: starts fine when cold, runs great. If I shut the car off after it's been warmed up it will start right away. If I wait 5 to ten minutes, it cranks and cranks but does not fire. I can smell gas so I assume it is being flooded.
What else could it be? Do I have leaky injectors? When I got the car over a year ago, i had no problems. To me this would point to a sudden failure of a component. Is it possible that I have a defective new check valve or accumulator?
