Yeah, I sniffed the vacuum line. I might have smelled something but not sure. I'm gonna try it again when I've just run the car as I tried it when it had been sitting for a while. I'm assuming based on the amount of fuel that it would have to be that it should be pretty noticeable. Also, any ideas on why this would be intermittent?

Not after it evaporates why didn't you check it when you did the FP leakdown as instructed?

Just what do you mean here? It will only do it for a period of time after it has been shut down warm.

The intermittent thing was meaning that sometimes it'll start right up when I've been driving it, other times it'll take a while to fire up. I haven't quite figured out what the pattern is for when it'll decide to act up.

OK. FPR was bad. Had fuel in the vacuum line. Replaced that and did another leak test. Pressure only dropped a little bit over the first 5 minutes or so (3-4psi). I was about to pull the injectors out and then decided I'd drive it instead of looking for more problems. I don't know how much drop in pressure is ok and when it indicates another problem.
Thanks for the help.
