Hi Hermann,

Sounds similar to the hot start problem a couple of us have experienced with
the Eurospecs.

My mechanic swapped out the fuel pump relay with a replacement special
ordered from Bosch that was rated to >100 degrees C.  I'll try to dig out
the part # tomorrow.  Ping me if I don't.

I've been shy about posting the fix since I've only been using the
replacement for less than a month.

Subject: starting problem eurospec

Friends,

it's cold in the Midwest and I had to let the van idle for 15 minutes
yesterday to keep my 2 1/2 year-old warm. Then I shut the engine down, left
the van for two minutes, and when I came back it would not start for approx.
five minutes.
I have a Eurospec 2.ol conversion.
What could be the problem here?
Tried the archives but nothing came up. TIA

Cheers,
Hermann de Boer
