No it doesn't, that is controlled by a bi-metalic thermo switch and is only used for cold start... but all five of your injectors are probably leaking if they are not new and flooding from hot (if left stood for a little while between starts), do you find you need to use the throttle to get it going? Or he idle mixture screw needs adjusting, check your hot idle AFR.

All 4 injectors are new as found to be past it on test, the CSV injector is the same and not changed. It takes a few good turns of ignition to get it going and runs on 3 for a few seconds. I run a race alloy fuel tank, all new fuel lines etc. it did it before i built the new car so not caused by the new build.

Is it possiable to be a fault with the CSV leaking on hot or some other area. Also the CTS is new so getting coolant readings that are spot on

Fuel accumulator do they ware ? or the metering seals vapour lock etc ?

Cold is good tho

Thanks
