What is the hot start problem?

nineeagles

Hot start problem is that is won't start when engine has been running and you shut it off and wait for about 10 minutes and it won't start without alot (and I mean ALOT) of cranking.....sometimes flooring the pedal will help ....somtimes not......this is a very common problem with the 79ish years and I have heard about alot of fixes......just wanted to know which is considered the best remedie (most used)

you signature doesn't say what model/year you have

I believe the 79ish problems were mostly fuel pump check valve...but need more info

79 924 NA....I haven't touched anything on it yet (for the hot start problem)
thought about the auxillary switch added to the cold start valve repair....thought about the fuel pump and/or check vavle repair.....and still thinking about which way to go first.......doesn't cause much problem for me as I usually get it going but would like to find a good remedie.....

It's not vapor lock? Cleaning my injectors fixed that problem.
