Still having a mare with this engine. Replaced a few bits and it is better but this hot start problem remains.*
If I drive the car for a short distance, say 10 mins, shut off, then start it again within 5/10 mins it seems fine.*
However, if it's had a good 30 mins plus running, shut off, then start it again about 20/30 mins later it just won't idle. It turns and fires ok, but unless I give it a bit of throttle it just dies. Tried holding the revs for a good 10 secs but as soon as I take my foot off the throttle it dies.*
It seems there's some relevance to the engine being shut off as I can drive for as long as I want once it's warmed up and it doesn't stall. It's just once I park up for a bit and get back in that the problem arises.*
So does this sound like a dodgy coolant sensor, the one near the dizzy? Or something else?
