    84 Mondial QV Cabriolet. Car was running great. I made a stop for 15 mins., but then she wouldn't start again. I had this happen once before on a very hot day. Had to get it towed home; stripped out the fuel pump, accumulator etc. Found nothing, put it back together and she ran fine! What do you suspect, or what do I look at first?

    Not a lot of info there, but if the car will start cold, but not hot, that could be a leaking injector or a bad check valve at the fuel pump.

    I've actually had mine do that as a result of the burned out fuel pump connector on the fuse box. Look at the following thread: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87920 Mine started again when I "fooled around" with the wires at the fuel pump connection on the connector at the inboard side of the fuse box........hopefully, there's a solution to all of this being worked out here: http://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=122356

    An other vote for a faulty fuel pump fuse. I had that problem a few times until I realized that the fuel pump fuse holder was melted & had a bad connection. The solution was to wire in an external fuse for the fuel pump. No problems since then. You might try just wiggling the fuel pump fuse to see if that give you a closed circuit that will allow the pump to work. It was an easy fix - about $5 for parts & an hour of my time.

    Hot start problems are commonly due to a bad solenoid on the starter as well.
