Hot Start Problem

Hey guys, I am having this strange problem with my car lately. It just won't restart when hot. Then, when i unplug an injector, it starts. The car has spark, fuel pressure at the rails and great injector pulse until it is hot. I put a new ICM and pickup coil on there. It recieved new ECM about two years ago. I also then completely rebuilt the top end. Still happening. It is factory stock besides an aftermarket coil pack. Any insight would be great. I miss driving my car.

Thanks, Brandon

Re: Hot Start Problem

It doesn't run rich does it? that would make it hard to start.

Re: Hot Start Problem

Hot soak...Injectors leak down after you drive the car and try to start it back up again. Floods the cylinders.
For a test, hold accelerator to the floor after a heat soak and crank it. Chances are, it'll start.

Time for new injectors maybe.

Thanks for the replies. The car did the same thing this morning cold. I already have tried flooring it while cranking and nothing happens. It'll start on starter fluid or with one injector disconnected.
