2001 SLE "hot start" condition ???

Post by GK55 »

I just purchased my second Bonnevile, a 2001 SLE. The previous owner had said there's a "hot start" issue. I'm thinking of changing these three items, crankshaft position sensor, fuel regulator & fuel pressure control valve. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations?

Crankshaft position sensor sounds like a good starting point. People have had issues with them before.
