Does say a fuel pump or ignition relay
when it gets hot
relays do get hot

they heat up & cool down
affecting solder joints
creating weak connections

Its possible a hot relay might not start the car or fuel pump as well as a cold one?

I never have a cold start problem
but have the warm/hot start problem

I found the fuel poump relay for $100

just wondering if its worth changing it
whilst not knowing if mine might be fine?

Still the car runs fine
the relay obviously is allowing the pump to work

Its probably ok as it starts cold & I don't have any fuel problems
except starting the hot/warm engine that has sat./...
