    Hot start issue?

    Hi all,

    the car starts fine when it is cold (but a little too much crank time), but after it warms up, it starts and dies, I have to press the throttle pedal for it to start.

    Any ideas what could be the problem? It also (hot and cold) takes a little time for it to start, not one two, but maybe 5 five rotations or something.

    Thanks in advance.

        Sounds like a typical Coolant Temperature Sensor fault.

            Also
            Pull the boot back on the temp sender plug and check the wiring for shorts.
