First week with the car. I am trying to get familiar with all the quirks. I have been reading a lot of post here and try to diagnose the problems and plan of actions (any input would be appreciated)

1. takes a few cranks to start. hear the FP buzzing when i first turn the key on:

from research this should be a bad fuel accumulator. I don't think there is a problem with this other that losing the pressure and having to keep the key on a bit longer (please correct me if i am wrong)

2. car idles fine in gear, after driving a while (hot engine) and putting the car in park the engine idles at around 1900 rpm. i can switch back to D and the engine RPM will lower to normal idle speed

not sure what is wrong here, but shut her down and the next time i start it seems fine. i am guessing a vacuum leak?

3. Cruise control seems to shut off by itself. i am surprised this worked at all! but i can set it to 65 and after a bit it seems to shut off like i just tapped the brakes, seemed to happen when i hit an incline (engine needed to speed up)

maybe a fuse? not a big deal to me at all.

i am on my way of doing a few maintenance items and replacing all the underhood deteriorated hoses

thanks for all inputs
