CS,
Glad you got the car in and all sounds good. I figured it would benefit from the plugs and wires. it can really smooth an engine out. The accumulator i a good choice on the hot start issue. It is designed to hold the fuel pressure when the car is off for the next start. It is a pressurized diaphram and over time it looses its ability to hold the fuel pressure when hot and it does not allow good hot starts. it can be a couple other things, but the accumulator is a common one when the car is running well otherwise. Actually I have a new accumulator on its way to me for the same diagnosis, not a big deal. Good luck and YEA!
