Default Re: Hot starting problems continues (traxx1)

It’s probably time to break down and find someone with a Diacom program. The hard start problem could be due to any number of computer-related problems, leaky or stuck injectors, or a heat-sensitive ignition system. The best way to diagnose the problem is to work through things systematically. Check to see if there are any substantial fuel pressure variations related to engine temperature, see if Diacom turns up a faulty sensor or a trouble code, and then give the ignition system a good once-over. You should find the problem.
