Subject:Hard starting hot
From:Richard Gandy

1984 1.9 recently overhauled engine
The van starts great cold runs great but if you shut it down or stall it
won't start. If you let it cool down it starts fine. When trying to start hot
it cranks forever. once in a while it would start after extensive cranking
with the pedal held to the floor. I've replaced the plugs, cleaned the
grounds on the engine, checked the timing.  I pulled the fuel line off one
set of injectors and cranked to see if there was any gas and it wanted to
start. And it pumped out plenty of gas. after reconnecting the line it won't
start. If I crawl under the van and disconnect the pump and have someone
crank it starts and then I reconnect the pump and it's fine suggestions?
