0000278 Dealer Repair Information
The engine may be hard to start 20-30 minutes after warm-up and then
shut off (heat soak condition).
Install a fuel pressure gauge and check fuel system pressure. If the
fuel pressure becomes 0 psi within 3 seconds after engine is shut off,
the pressure regulator may be defective and should be replaced.
