Default Rear pump squirters leakin while shut off (hot)

Hey guys. Had problems starting after my lq4 after it was warmed up. Couldnt figure it out. Switched base timing all around and all.

So the other day I pull into the garage after driving it a while and I noticed the rear pump squirter squirting fuel. Or percolating fuel. Mind you the truck was shut off. The fuel level looks fine. What else should I check? Is the fuel boiling?

Check the clearance on the pump arm to the adjusting bolt. It may be adjusted a little tight. Also check the gaskets on the squirter itself. Just some places to start. Eric L

Also check to make sure the secondary throttle blades arent opened to far making the secondary squirter pump prematurely. Hope this helps, Eric L

also pull the pump diaphram and see if it has a metal check ball or a red rubber "umbrella" in the floatbowl. if its the red rubber, change it. they go bad.
