Not starting when engine warm
Not starting when engine warm
Hi !
As some may know my MGF seems to be allergic to the sun. When its left out for say, two hours, in the sun, after an hour run and I attempt to start the car all I get is the engine turning over and no attempt to fire up is heard
Now its happened with half a tank in the car, so I can hopefully rule out not having much petrol in the tank. So.....
1. Checked Inlet Temperature sensor ( 2.1k at 24 degress c ) so seems ok
2. Coolant temperature sensor also seemed ok ( can't remember the reading )
Do these sensors fail catastophically i.e. if they go wrong they will always read wrong and not fail but intermittently read OK ?
3. Checked distributor cap and no water/moisture in it
What to do next ? Getting fed up with engine cover in the living room
regards
kevin
