Sounds like you're not holding rest pressure.
Fuel pump check valve or leaky injector?

Subject: Hot start problem

Hi everyone,
85 Westfalia, automatic with Boston Bob 2.1 a few years back.
When the motor's hot, and I turn off the ignition, it is hard to get it to
restart (for example pulling in to get gas off the highway, then trying to
get going).  The motor turns over fast enough but won't catch.  It will
eventually, but not quickly.
In the past I had hot starting issues and the motor would turn over very
slowly.  That was resolved with the hot start relay.
I do find that it helps if I let the fuel pump run it's cycle (1 or 2
seconds?) before attempting to start.
Any suggestions?
ThanksJeff
