1st: Is this for the bonnie? If so I'll move it down to the 92-99 forum
2nd: Hot as in how? Hot weather or hot engine?

I thought fuel preasure was not dependent on temperature. So that would mean it isn't the fuel pump.
plugs and wires are not the newest I dont think. I will have to find that out.
