I may have misled folks when I posted having starting problems. Several replies referenced the starter. Actually the engine starts and runs fine when it has been setting for a spell or at fully operating temperature. It isn't a fuel problem - runs smooth, accelerates good and gets good mileage. The starting problem seems to be temperature related. If it only runs a short while then a restart kicks the starter out as soon as it fires but the engine dies. I found if I push the accelerator all the way to the floor it will catch. Since there is no direct manual connection to the accelerator I suspect either the air bypass valve or the air charge temperature sensor. I suspect the latter. It is a cheap item so I will replace it today.
