I also have this problem. Did you finally resolve it? I have an 81 SC, drives perfectly and starts when cold, but a hotter day, and sit for a few minutes and it's real hard to start. It takes about 6-8 tries and eventually sputters to life - like vapor lock?

This problem has been sort of intermittent for a few years. A shop checked my residual fuel pressures and said they were fine. It drove fine for awhile, but it seems to have returned with the hot weather.

I've read somewhere that the fuel accumulator is a part that should be replaced periodically. Mine is original to the car. Should I replace mine?
