Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 328 reluctant dead cold start

[E M (pokiebaron]

If the check valve in the fuel pump, or fuel pump line was bad, I would imagine after sitting a few day, the problem would be the same as described.  When the valve is bad, the pressure can die off pretty fast once you turn if off, requiring a lot of cranking to get it going. 

Not sure of the setup on a 328, but often the valve is on the line, outside the tank, not a really big fix.  They often do get a bit weak with age.

Good luck.

There is an accumulator in line with your fuel pump that does that it might be bad as well

Clyde,
Isn't there a valve to maintain fuel pressure when the engine is off?  I seem to remember something like this and what happens is the fuel can slowly leak causing a rich condition when trying to start after the car has been sitting.
