The Fuel accumulator retains a residual amount of fuel and pressure for the initial start up--both cold and warm--but especially when warm. The tell tale sign of it going bad is HARD starts.I'll say your cold start valve is doing it's job too. Your 2-3 attempts to start might be the system building up operating pressure--a job for the accumulator.
Try breaking the line going from the accum. to the engine. Do this hours after it ran-or up to a day later--if you get a quick spritz of gas then your accum. is ok. It should have an ample amount of pressure stored in the diaphram from the last time it ran.
you could do some research yourself.Get the BOSCH Text for european vehicles--damn near college bound--and extremely detailed on all the J-K-L and Motronic Jet systems.
