Hello Eric:

>>Sorry for the Delay. This Question was Located in the Question Pool. I am Also on Vacation and I had a Few Minutes to Answer Questions.
>>From your Description it Sounds like the Pressure Release is Stuck Open and is Causing Pressure on the Pump when you are Starting the Engine.
>>Disassemble, Clean and Lubricate the Pressure Release or Replace the Pressure Release Valve and the Problem should be Corrected.
