Default Won't start warm...

Morning!

I just pulled our 93 from storage. It started (cold) without any problem at all. It idled for about 10 minutes fine... just wanted it to come up to temp..shut it down for a sec and it wouldn't start. It turned over, occasionally hit, but it was REALLY unhappy about trying to start. Once it sat for an hour (cooled down?) it started. I have about 5 gals of fuel in the tank and had added Stabil before it was parked. My next step is to get some premium fuel and add it...it's going to need fuel anyway. Does this sound like a fuel issue? I have a gut feeling it's not fuel related but don't know enough about opti to know whether cold/warm is a factor.

Your thoughts?

I cant answer your question but, you should do a thread in the C4 tech section. Nobody hangs out in Scan and Tune unless they are working on ECM issues or programing.

Thanks Jack.

I was headed there but when I saw "fuel management" in the header I posted here. (kinda thinking I had a fuel issue)

Thanks for the comment....moving to general tech.
