Marve:
With regards to high temperature under the hood, I seem to remember
something from my C. Probst fuel injection manual (foolishly given
away) about how high temperature can cause hard starting, but it had
more to do with the fuel injectors than the fuel lines... I'm probably
wrong, and also look forward to finding the cause of those embarrassing
multiple starting attempts.
I hope that any lurkers with even the foggiest idea of what might be
wrong might consider peeping out of the closet... ;)
One thing for sure, I think that I will certainly ask my dealer to
check the fuel pressure thing, as well as the mystery of the
disappearing coolant. I can't help but think that the latter problem
and the hard starting are linked.
I still have the benefit of a (informal, but binding, as far as I'm
concerned) statement from the salesman that the dealership would fix
anything that was wrong within 30 days of buying it. I'm only at day
19. :) So far it's given me a highly-discounted tune-up (should have
been a condition of the sale, I know), repair of the seat-belt height
adjustment and new front tires because of a flat spot and some ungodly
road noise from the front right tire.
I will certainly keep the list posted.
