Greetings all.
My van doesn't start as well as it use to when it is hot. Sometimes it
fires up as soon as you turn the key, but mostly it cranks about 3 times
now. Until recently it always fired on the first crank. If I switch the
ignition on, hear the pump, turn it off and then crank it over, it fires
right away. It feels like not enough fuel. Have checked the volume of the
pump, 30 seconds in a container. Is as the Bently specifies. I,m wondering
if my system loses pressure when it is hot, or a carbon buildup absorbing
fuel at startup. Anybody had similar symptoms? Any info would be
appreciated.

R.Feuerriegel-

Although the symptoms you describe sound a little like vapor lock, I would
doubt that vapor lock is the problem. Sounds more like cruddy fuel
injectors. If you haven't already done so, run one bottle of Techron Fuel
injector cleaner through in two successive tanks of fuel, (total of two
bottles). If this doesn't fix it, sell your Syncro to me for a very low
price, and I will take over worrying about this problem for you.
