1981 VW Rabbit hard to start when hot?

Could be bad compression, with a bad head this problem gets

worse with higher temperatures. Hard starting at hot could be a

failing ignition coil, does the engine miss under load at hot? It

could also be a failed fuel pressure accumulator or fuel check

valve. Scrooch under car, find the fuel accumulator ahead of rear

wheels on passenger side. Next to the fuel pump (the noisy unit

humming along during operation) there is a can with 2 lines going

into it. It's smaller than a soup can. If the car has high miles I

would just replace the accumulator as it will probably have failed

in the 28year old car. If replacing the accumulator doesn't help,

replace the check valve on the fuel pump.

With 99% of computer hardware you have to shut down the computer, remove all the power, etc, and THEN you can start taking things out. "Hot-swap" lets you do exactly that.

If its hot or cold outside don't let the rabbit out unless the play area is in the shade. Also, don't put the rabbit in direct light! Its eyes will hurt! You can keep a rabbit cool outside if you provide fresh cold water and some shade on a nice day! (not hot or cold)

Asked in Care of Rabbits

Is it normal for a rabbit to have warm ears?

Yes, it's usually normal for rabbits to have warm ears. Rabbits don't sweat: instead, they regulate their body temperature through their ears. When rabbits are hot -- like when the rabbit has been running around and playing -- the hot blood moves to the ears, the heat escapes a bit through the skin, and the rabbit is a little bit cooled down. However, very hot ears could indicate a fever or heat stroke, so consider the circumstances and look for other signs of illness when you notice your rabbit has hot ears. If the rabbit is too hot (fever, heat stroke, etc.), the ears are not enough to cool the rabbit down: the rabbit needs medical attention from a knowledgeable, experienced rabbit vet.
