car not starting when its hot
it dosent start when shes hot. could it be flooding
some people say put a fuel cut swich but dosent that mess up your injecotrs trying to start it with no fuel going to the injecotrs. kinda like running and electoronic fuel pump with no gas it burns out.
ive searched but im still pretty confused about this. my car runs fine and only has gutted cats (temp. fix for now till i get dp and mp).
so maybe you could give me alittle help on this

Do the switch, it works. Also, as time and money permits figure out the reason why its not starting when hot. If its low compression, get your self prepaired for a rebuild. If its injectors, get them cleaned.

The switch is really nothing more than a band aid, for not fixing the problem correctly.
Check compression, take out and send off to professionally clean the injectors, or fix the ECU.

well i know i have good compression
didnt think it could be the ECU if so would i be needing a new one is there anyway to reset the ECU or like mess with the stock settings. (its a stock ECU)
i guess a temp fix is better than nothing.
