Default 1999 Monte Carlo Starting Problem

The car starts fine first thing ,or when it is cold. But when the engine is warmed up,it is really hard starting. It will immediately stall,like it is not getting any fuel. Is this an adjustment I can make?

Any help is appreciated

THANKS

Ken

It sounds like you need a new fuel pressure regulator. Just out of curiousity, do you have a 3100 or a 3800?

No, it shouldn't be difficult at all. Just make sure you relieve the fuel pressure before you change it. This diagram will help to show you where it's at:



1: EVAP Vacuum Switch
2: EVAP Canister Purge Valve
3: To Rocker Arm Cover
4: Air Intake Duct
5: Throttle Body
6: PCV Valve
7: Fuel Pressure Regulator
8: To Transaxle
9: Intake Manifold
10: To Top Port of EVAP Canister
11: EVAP Canister
12: To Fuel Tank
13: To Accessory
14: To Vacuum Brake Booster
15: MAP Sensor
