Didn’t cure the problem.
Any expert suggestions??
Thanks.

Even a warm engine without residual pressure should be able to start immediately if the thermo time switch is working properly to engage the cold start valve which is designed to work in a warm engine that has been without residual pressure for over 3 hours.
But to put your mind at ease about residual pressure, you could easily test it without gauges simply by reaching under and pushing up on the sensor plate while feeling for any resistance after 15 mins. If you feel any resistance, you have residual pressure... it's that simple. After 20 min to a half hour all residual pressure is gone and yet your engine should still be capable of starting instantly with the cold start valve, provided the thermal time switch is working.
