    Ok so I’m back on the hot start issue. I’ve fixed my cold start issue which was caused by a non functioning ISV due to no fuse, and a previously incorrectly base idle setting which I assume was to compensate for not having a functioning ISV.

    So after that I was confident that the hot start issue would be related, but unfortunately it wasn’t. I have the exact same symptoms. I’ve done a carbon canister delete to just completely rule that out but that’s not changed anything at all. I used to get pressure or vacuum build up in the fuel tank, I can’t tell which, which was another reason for deleting it. Weirdly, I’m still getting a big hiss when I open the fuel filler cap with the canister deleted. I’ve done this as many others have on the forum. Cap the manifold, keep the N80 plugged in as a dummy load, and keep the in-line valve on the expansion hose that would have connected to the carbon canister and rerouted it outside the car.

    I can’t think of the next move here given everything I’ve done, changed and tested. The obvious red flag that doesn’t match the Bentley spec is the fuel pressure drop to around 2.5 bar when turning the car off.

    The only thing I can think of is that a line in the tank is spilt maybe, but I can’t really see in there too well, and I’ve tried looking for replacement lines but I can’t find any spec online of the lines themselves or how there setup.

      I don't think 7a has an accumulator? Is there an anti return valve one side of the pump?
      Another thing to check is the injectors. Is one or more dribbling on shut down?

        You’re correct Dave, the 7A doesn’t have an accumulator. There’s a check valve mounted on the pump but I’ve changed that 3 times so I feel I can rule that out. I also thought the injectors might be the culprit a while back with them being the old Hitachi ones. I changed to the Bosch ones and had them checked before installing them so I’m also confident they’re not leaking either.

          I've just read your first post again. Apologies. It was almost a year ago.
          Sorry, I've run out of ideas. One of the 7a experts will hopefully be along soon.

            It’s alright Dave, it was a good while ago! I always appreciate you chiming in. Hopefully I’ll be able to get to the bottom of this and it’s something simple!
