Yep! I had already thought that it was the HPFP based on my previous experiences, but the codes did not give them the HPFP, so they only changed the low pressure sensor as described. The slow starts never went away, and finally the HPFP totally crapped out, 2,000 miles later. I do suspect that the pump was already damaged, since I originally took it in based on symptoms that I am way too familiar with! It does appear that the 881 HPFP will last longer with a problem, my first and second pumps failed soon after the first symptoms showed up.
