Subject: [DML] Hotstart Electrical problem


> I have been chasing a hotstart problem in my DMC vin 716, for some

> won't start until it is cold, 2-4+ hours later. Usually the stall
> occurs as I am slowing for a corner or a stop, but this has occured
> also while the car is sitting still and running.

> lower driver side into the compartment where the driving computer is)
> while the car was failing, and I got no reading (an open) on the ohm
