vapour lock 444-544

posted by  someone claiming to be mario on  Sun Aug 1 07:00 CST 2004 [RELATED]

On a hot day when I want to restart my B20 after parking for 15 or so minutes, I have to push the choke in, press the gas pedal down, crank the engine, after it catches and the revs come up I must immediately pull out the choke to the fast idle position so it won't die when I release the gas pedal. It seems many people have this issue and this seems to be the standard method for starting a warm car on a hot day. I know it is not a fix, but it usually works sometimes with a little sputtering.
