[doc] Warm Starting Difficulties

["Richard Hanlon" <rahanlon@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all ? Spring issues solved!

However, this week, I?ll be mostly having Warm Start Issues.

1)      The car always starts from cold, without a hint of a problem.

2)      The car always starts again when it?s hot, if you stop and 
immediately re-start

3)      It absolutely WILL NOT start if it?s been hot, is parked, you nip 
into the shops to get some flowers for Valentine?s day, get back in the car, 
and need to get home sharpish.

In fact, the more I think of it, it?s often struggled starting after a 
medium length run if it hasn?t had the chance to cool down again.

A couple of things I?ve noticed:

1)       Occasionally I hear the ~1second buzz of the fuel pressure 
accumulator system when I turn the key to the first position, but not always 
(especially with repeated trying).

2)       When I lift the lid, with the ignition on, on some occasions 
there?s an electrical buzz from the region of the LH block, but again, not 
always.

3)       I know the coil connections are crap, and I?m on to it!

Can anyone shed any light at all please?  I ended up having two very long 
walks yesterday!

And finally, a bit of advice ? after a week or so, if you?ve had the 
Auto-Trans sump off, give the bolts an extra tweak as the new cork gasket 
compresses, the bolts loosen, and the fluid wants out!

Cheers folks,
