Angry Hard Start Hot

Hello again. I have another issue with my 1990 Geo Prizm. The engine starts up immediately when it is cold, or sitting for a while. When it is hot, I have to crank it over for a few seconds. Sometimes it will take two tries. I thought that it might be a clogged injector. I tried fuel injector cleaner a few months ago, with no help. Fuel pressure also crossed my mind. The engine is a DOHC 1.6L 4 Cylinder EFI Engine code:6. It is really annoying and embarrassing. This is me when the problem occurs: lol. Thank you!

Re: Hard Start Hot

It could be that your losing fuel pressure is leaking down, your going to have to put a gauge on there and do a leak down test. Have you tried priming the lines by turning the key on and off a few times. Could also be a bad fuel pump, I have seen this happen. There are other possibilities as well but go check for fuel pressure.

Re: Hard Start Hot

Suggestion is to post your question about the Prizm in the actual section for it instead of the Blazer forum.

Re: Hard Start Hot

The post was already in there. Now you made a double post in the Prizm forum.
