Well, the shorter wire to the relays didn't fix the
 hot start problem. I now think the problem is in
the curcuit that turns on the fuel pump relay.
I couldn't hear the pump priming after the engine
wouldn't start last night. So I disconnected the
wire from the fuel pump and turned the ignition on,
and the engine did the same thing. It would run like
its on 1 or 2 cyls. I suspect whatever supplies 12v
to the coil of the fuel pump relay is the culprit. Bentley
shows the coil side of the relay going to the ignition
coil. I ran out of time last night to measure the voltage
at the coil side of the relay before it cooled down.
I'll try again tonight.
