When engine is hot and is stopped it then does not start or has great difficulty doing so! When engine cold starts first time!

So far I have had a diognostic test on it and that reads no fault. Have had a new petrol tank filter, new spark plugs and new fuel cut off unit and still have the same problem!

Any advice would be great!

Thanks.

You should check for fuel & spark to see if both are present when not starting......

How does it run once it start? If it chugs and blows some black smoke, you may what to check out your coolant temp sensor, it may be reporting a too cool of temp........

Thanks for that! Once we get it going its fine! No black smoke or chugging only a starting problem when hot, We will check for a spark and fuel when its hot!
