Re: Hot Restart Problem on 23rd Series

The electric fuel pump is mounted in the rear near the gas tank. I didn't try flooring the pedal until way into the agony of starting the motor...and while I don't recall that necessarily having an immediate effect, it may in fact have been what was necessary to get us on our way.

What I'm trying to understand is why this is only happening under these conditions (restart 20 min after sitting hot). Maybe next time I should go ahead and floor it immediately to open the choke while cranking.
