    2.3 10v Non start when warm.

    Cant suss the thing out! Starts fine when cold or left for a while but when been on a run and the try to start it, it just cranks!
    Changed the plugs before this started and they are all ok. Changed the cap and rotor so thery are fine. Tryed another coil and that doesnt cure it.
    It will start with a push tho, although ******ed if im doing that every time!
    Any suggestions?

      Is your battery/starter motor ok, push starting generally works better cuz the engine turns over faster push starting it than it does on the starter motor.

      Only a thought....

        So the starter spins the engine? If not, starter heat soak could be the cause.

        Fuel vapor lock is another possibility, perhaps the fuel accumulator is bad.

        Coolant temp sensor could give wrong signal, fooling the ECU into thinking that the engine is cold, thus enriching the mixture too much

          Was my thought and next port of call........

          Just found out the fuel pump is also playing up so might try one of them too.
          Thanks
