the gas chamber. I am looking for advise  on how to fix this problem.

Yes, once started the car runs perfectly  well until I turn it off.
Then to restart I have to pour some gas in the gas chamber.

Howdy decoste,

You might want to check out this Yahoo web page.  Even though
it is about cold starts, I think the problem is most probably
with the start injector on your Sidekick.
http://autos.yahoo.com/repair/results/ques092.html

"On older fuel injected engines, a separate "cold start" injector
is used to spray additional fuel into the intake manifold when a
cold engine is first started. If this injector is not working, the
engine can be hard to start. The injector is controlled by a timer
and relay, so if either of these components is defective it can
prevent the cold start injector from doing its job, too."

Looking Forward, denco-ga - Google Answers Researcher
