Hot starting problems...
Howdy all....New guy here...93 Protege 1.8L DOHC...I've got a small problem when my car is at operating temperature. If I shut it down, and then try to restart after about 15 minutes, it will NOT restart, just crank and crank and crank. I know for a fact that it DOES have spark, I'm guessing a fuel related illness and just wondering if anyone has anything to check. If I wait for a little while, or keep cranking, it will EVENTUALLY restart. If it cools completely, it will restart without any problems...
Thanks for any suggestions... By the way, I just did a TC Lockup mod with a switch in the cab, works slick.. Tallfarmboy |
Make sure the fan is working - that kept happening in my girlfriends car a while ago and then figured out the engine was getting too hot.

Try normal Maintenance like spark plugs, air filter, PCV, Dist, Cap,
rotary button, etc. If your check engine light is set on, have Autozone run the engine codes for free. Your coolant temp sensor could be faulty. Best Regards |
Could be a couple of different sensors. Topfile's on the money... get the codes checked.

I suppose the check engine light was on.
You should have found connector at the firewall on the drivers side behind the battery. You could always run he codes yourself if you have a jumper wire handy. Best Regards |
