Hi all,

I have had a weird starting issue for a couple of years now with
my 91 gli.  Cold starts take a few seconds of cranking to catch
and then the car will run ruff for a few seconds until I rev it a
bit.  Once it clears itself it runs good, accept for a slightly
erratic idle once in a while.  If I shut the car down and just
run in to a store real quick the car will start and catch right
away, like bam!  It used to be like that for most every start.  I
am thinking along the lines of the fuel accumulator, but have not
purchased a FI gauge kit to be able to test fuel system
pressures.  BTW, newish (<10K miles) fuel filter.  The car is
great once running and pulls strong.  No differance with fuel
level in tank.  It always starts after a couple of seconds of
cranking, so it was never a big deal.  I would like to fix it
though.  I have heard of the spring in these accumulators
breaking, but would like to diagnose it before purchaing a new
part.  I should just get a FI test kit from Harbor Freight.  Has
anyone picked one up from them?  Any recomendations on what
features I need?  Don't want to break the bank hear.

Thanks,
Jesse
