Tarquin Difficult To Start When Warm
When cold it starts almost instantly, but when warm it's very reluctant. I'm thinking either cam sensor or one of the fuel pumps.
Am I in the right area, or should I be looking for something else? Thanks David.

That is most likely to be injector leakback, if the car starts eventually when being cranked when warm.
If it will not start at all, then CMP into the freezer to see if it's that Brian |

I'll chuck some Forte into the fuel filter to see if that works.

Or crank sensor. Very common when car wont start when warm but starts fine when cold.
Give it a diagnostic check as it should be in the error codes stored under pending. |

Sean sadly David's car will not talk to the T4 his wiring as been eaten away with black/green corrosion as far back as can possibly be investigated with out removing the whole dash We did make him up a new T4 connection with quite a good length of wire hoping we could splice it in for him at the Nano, but found the wiring eaten away badly to far up the loom. David as a leak back test kit which he can use I am sure he will post back his finding to us asap

As above. I'll try and get the test done before the NANO if I can.

Check it closely and you should find it is - it will only move a little when the engine is cranking over.
As aready mentioned, difficulty in starting then running fine is usually down to either a failing cam sensor or fuel pressure problem - commonly excessive injector leakback. |
