Hi chez,
do i need to worry about the 25amp fuse?
No, that's for LH. And the relay you found is the only one for K-jet.
i will follow up on bob's advice".
"my hayne's manual doesn't tell me where the fuel pump check valve is"
As I said, it's right at the pump outlet.
And again, which Haynes do you have? Knowing that, I might be able to help you better.
"or whether it is easy to remove or not"
"easy to remove" is relative, but I can't say, not knowing your experience level, what tools you have, etc.
"how much is a replacement going to set me back?"
The Bosch # is 1-587-010-539, costing $12 US at FCP Groton.
But we don't even know you if need one yet. Did you try the fuel pump "pre-start running" I suggested?
If that helped with the Cold Start, it could possibly point to the check valve.
(I'm trying to help you diagnose what's actually wrong before you spend money needlesly.)
It sounds like a Fuel problem. But that could be either Low Pressure, or Low Volume. There are several possible causes for each. I don't know how far we can go with trouble-shooting because the diagnosis depends on:
1)available test equipment (pressure gauge, digital volt meter, basic tools. etc.),
2) the experience/ability to use them ,
3) reference manuals.
I have simple Low Volume test you can try, but I need to know the outcome of what I've already suggested, and more about items 1, 2, and 3 above—so we use our time well, and I don't lead you into trouble.
