As far as I'm aware you need the hot start valve wired up but nothing piped up to it mate. Although I think that just stops the EML coming on.

Yeah I can confirm that, was told by my engine tuner that its best left not plumbed in because when it fails it can reduce your fuel pressure and its only used when starting the engine from horrendous temperatures (120 degrees plus)

Ran mine for years with it connected electrically but not plumbed in with no problems.

Have you tried driving the car yet? are there any other synptoms?
Yeah mine said the exact same :thumbs:
