Porr starting when hot
Posted: 30 Jun 2006, 13:32
Hi all,
My 2.1i starts first time every time when cold. When at normal running temp., it takes two or three goes. When hotter than that, it won't start at all-totally dead, no misfires or anything, unless left for five or ten minutes, when it's back to normal.
The engine was a VW rebuild 40k miles ago, peripherals pretty old except HT leads which are two-three years old. Plugs and cap are not new but should be OK.
Also has rough tickover but otherwise performs really well, fast and smooth.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Richard
