Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Great to have the list back + Warmup starts

[Dave Handa (dave]

Get new brass (Bosch) fuel injectors...the original ones were steel, and are
    prone to corrosion, which can cause leaking and poor spray patterns.
The
    updated injector part numbers are posted on F-chat, I have posted it
many
    times.  I worthwhile upgrade after all these years, even if it does not
    solve your hot start problem.  
    Froogle search the part numbers for the best prices.

Subject: [Ferrari] Great to have the list back + Warmup starts

Working to troubleshoot my warm up start problem.   You want scarry, park on
an incline, learn the parking brake doesn't work and you are rolling back
into traffic as the car refuses to start.

My ToolAid Fuel Pressure Tester arrived today and I've been trying to make
sense of the K-Jetronic reading material I have. 

Placed the guage in the circuit between fuel distributor and regulator.
Purged air, started car cold (instantly) and pressure hardly deviates from
30psi.   Once hot, the car doesn't want to start without excessive
accellerator pumping.  It used to start instantly hot.  Key off it maintains
40 psi for almost 2 hours, which seems to rule out the accumulator.   This
will take some messing around.   Earlier changed the relays with no effect.
I wonder that fuel filters are clogged, restrictive but car runs ok at
speed.


This warm start problem was new to me but a search showed it to be a common
3x8 problem.  It would be interesting to gather all the problems which will
eventually catch up with 3x8 owners.   


OK  how about planning for Hallet 2009 ??  Memories of Hallett99 still
happily fill my idle moments.   With the euro vs dollar reversed plus the
new political climate/dangers it's tougher but still a rewarding trip.  I'm
sure glad that Speed channel carried LeMons 24h.   And the couple F1 races
covered by CBS sure makes one appreciate the Speed channel announcers and
their superior coverage.
