That's exactly how my SL was when the accumulator went south. Cold it would fire right up....instantly in fact. But if you parked in front of a convenience store and dashed in and out, it was quite an embarrassing show trying to get it to restart! Wait for 45 mins or so, and it would start back up again, but not as well as when cold.

FWIW, the accumulator on my car was different from the 1981+ models used on the US cars. It only had 1 fuel inlet and the vent line and had to be special ordered. Car-Quest was able to take the original one and cross the number over, so that may be something to consider.
