Wont start? :-/ normal?
Heey guys...
some times when i have been driving for some time and then stops the engine for a short time (1 - 20 min) it is having some trouble starting again? and today it wouldn even start i tried to times? then i waited for like 2 more min and it fired up no problems? :-/ ..
there is no problems what so ever when the engine is cold .. its only sometimes and only when ive been driving for some time.. is this normal rotary behavior or what? its been doing it since i got it.. and besides that i have no problems at all with it.. it runs and sounds very healthy.. :-/

not normal at all....Have u changed ur coils/plugs lately? I noticed when mine is hot it takes a little longer and my coils are 45,000 old but this only happens very rarely!

Could also be that your car doesn't have the newer starter. One of the locals had the same problem and fixed it with a starter. There is a video of what it sounds like around here somewhere.

I don't believe it is coils, I have the same issue (when car is already warm, it takes more cranks to start, maybe like 10-15 turnover sounds vs 5-10 when cold). I have almost new OEM coils (<10K miles). Flooding is not the issue either because car is already warm.
My guess is the starter, since I still have the older one.
