Warm start issue

My 1.6 MPFI is having issues starting after it has been shut down for a short period when warm. It lights off then stumbles and stalls when trying to reach idle. So far it has eventually started and stayed running but it is getting worse. Anyone seen this?

No I haven't looked for codes.

PS: If it had a carb I'd swear it was vapor lock. That's the exact symptoms.

might be your fuel pressure regulator

Yeh my car did that in winter 2000. Whenever it warms up it dies. So i tried keepin it on by revvin it up a lil and all of the sudden my car caught of fire!!! Four of my pistons cracked!:eek:

I was thinking about that too but couldn't figure why it idles fine once it does get started.

I guess it's time for a pressure check on the fuel loop. Time to learn something new.
