Here is some info about the issue:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cold start is perfect, like a new car. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drive for 10 minutes turn it off and back on, it starts 9\/10<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drive for 10 minutes, turn it off wait 2 minutes and it is rough to start. <br>\u2014 The starter works, it can move the car.  <br>\u2014 The voltage is good. <br>\u2014 I can push start it with 100% success in a few feet. <br>\u2014 Jump pack can start it as well.  <br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The battery is less than a year old<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The connectors are clean and tight<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So it would seem the culprit may be too much fuel pressure. Before I buy a fuel pressure regulator I tried \u201cshimming\u201d it to lower the pressure. Which involves adding gaskets below the pump until the car starts correctly.  I will go buy a fuel pressure gauge and plumb it in to get a reading this week.  In the pic below it shows where the extra shim goes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3557-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3557-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3557-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3557-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3557-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3557-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3558-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-928\" srcset=\"https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3558-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3558-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3558-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3558-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/robonza.com\/beetle\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_3558-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My test ride showed good results.
