I installed my Fullthrottle fpr last week, ever since I've been having a cold start problem. If the engine is warm there is no problem, only after sitting for a while. I figured out that the cause of the problem was my fuel pressure is bleeding off, and I'm figuring it must be emptying the fuel lines when the car sits more than a couple of hours. While researching I found a similar thread on http://www.fullthrottletech.com:
Mine bleeds off faster than this, probably takes less than an minute to blead down to zero.
Now my question is, is it just a weird coincidence that this happened at the exact same time I installed my fpr or is there something wrong with my fpr? I'd hate to buy a new pump and then find out it wasn't the problem. I have walbro 255.
