Bone,

If you could, please type your messages in sentence case and not all caps. It makes them very difficult to read, especially without punctuation. Thanks!

When you bleed the schrader valve is it bubbling or a good stream of fuel?

It has a good stream of fuel. It only has a problem when hot. All fluids are normal. The problem started all of a sudden. The air filter is new and so is all the return lines and t's are new. thanks Dennis

Where did you get the IP and injectors........ are there any fuel leaks around the return line caps...... you did not say if you replaced the injector return lines and caps.

Return lines and caps must be replaced when injectors and IP replaced......

Check the wire to the fuel shut off selonide on the IP make sure it is tight and crimpped good. Also when it wont start make sure there is power to the fuel shut off.. no power no start
