Pretty quick here...
I've got the wretched "Hot Start Problem"
If you don't know already what this is, no need to respond.
If you do, please help me figure out the solution.
I have a 92 Eclipse GSX, so I don't believe the kludge box is going to work.
Thanks in advance.
 
I've already checked out that link. Thanks though. Also, the snap-on diagnostics machine said my injectors were working properly and the idle control motor is new and stepping correctly.
 
I really doubt a diagnostic computer would be able to detect a leaky injector. It could work fine while the car is on and then the seals leak when you turn it off. Check out the thread a few down from this to see my possible explanation. Does your oil have a fuel odor in it?
