Car won't start when warm?

Bagsy Baker · 25th June 2009, 05:40

My Rover 75 Saloon Connesieur V6 Auto Has suddenly developed a problem, that being that the car won't start again when it has been on even a short run (5 mile). The engine turns on the starter but wont fire. If I leave it for a while ie a couple of hours it starts. The problem only started to occur in the recent warm? spell. Any ideas?

Welcome along....most likely cause is cam sensor, which starts playing up when warm. Easy test, remove it, pop in th efreezer to chill and refit. If it starts then that the problem. Single bolt and one connector holds it in
