Hey Guys

So Heres as much information as i can give for my start up problem

Heres the things i "fixed"

1988 GXL 140k Miles

Oil 10w40 castrol
Wicks Oil Filter
Cleaned intake side of the throttle body a bit with brush and some water
Changed Spark Plugs NRG type R
Spark Plug wires appear to be in good condition no rips

Air filter is a bit dirty
Some coolant fluid is coming out of the gooseneck.

So heres the situation that happens.

I Drive my car around for a good while. Stop to go into a store or whateever reason just stopped for a short time (So the car is still warm)

I come out and i cant start the car. I, at first think its a flooding issue so i remove the ENG fuse and do that and it doesnt work at all.

So i proceed to crank the car while pressing the gas and it starts up after a few tries.

Basically after the car is warm its the only way to start the car up again.

It is very common to encounter hot-start flooding problems. It is typically due to reduced compression (not factory fresh anymore) and an overly rich start map. In some cases, leaky injectors can drip after the engine is shut off, which will also create problems.

sounds like youve flooded it and your seals are probably going bad

Just throwing my 2 cents out there. Everyone says, poor compression, leaky injectors, cracked seals... it could be something totally simple. My engine is fresh, new seals on everything and i had the same issue. My problem was... drum roll... my idle was set too high and the ecu probably never put the injectors into an idle state. After the rebuild i had to set it higher while everything settled in. Suprisingly after i reset my idle everything works just fine now. Also i had a weird idle issue where it would lope and jump rpms and it was because my air pump belt was too tight and was causing the clutch to stick. Don't worry it could just be something simple.

Vapor lock?

It occurs when the liquid fuel changes state from liquid to gas while still in the fuel delivery system. This disrupts the operation of the fuel pump, causing loss of feed pressure to the carburetor or fuel injection system, resulting in transient loss of power or complete stalling. Restarting the engine from this state may be difficult.
The fuel can vaporize due to being heated by the engine, by the local climate or due to a lower boiling point at high altitude. In regions where higher volatility fuels are used during the winter to improve the starting of the engine, the use of "winter" fuels during the summer can cause vapor lock to occur more readily.
