[T3] FI Help needed

When my fuel pressure regulator went south the pressure would spike when it
was hot and first started, and it flooded easily.

Check both temp sensors, especially the head temp sensor, if its bad it will
run too rich and have a hard start hot.  Make sure the pressure sensor holds
vacuum too...

Subject: [T3] FI Help needed

Hello group, I'm trying to help someone on the road that doesn't have  
internet access at the moment. The car is a 71 FI t-3, with a stock 1600
engine. 
 The problem is that it won't restart when hot, unless you ICE down the 
intake  manifold, then it'll start and run with no problem. Any idea what
might 
be  causing this. I looked thru Elfrink, but it only covered no "cold 
start". Once  it's started it runs ok, until you have to stop, then it might

stall, and won't  run worth a lick. Right now, fuel mileage is terrible, as
it's 
about 20 right  now. At this time, that's all I know, other than the fuel 
filter just got  changed this morning (no help according to the owner). He's

also got a  minimal tool kit with him, but nothing for heavy duty repairs. 
Thanks for any  help you can offer.
