In the last week or so I have noticed that my car is having trouble starting when the engine is still warm, when the engine is cold it starts up no problem at all, any ideas? (Car is a my99 by the way).
Help appreciated, thanx

I know someone who had this problem with an RX7. Being a rotary I'm not sure if it is even worth posting this but his problem was that is was flooding on warm starts. Cant remember why though. Do you get any smoke out the exhaust when this happens??

Haven't noticed any smoke, not that I have really been looking for it though!

something electrical getting hot and cracking the shits by the sounds of it.

I used to have an old V8 that the Starter began getting cranky when it was hot

but hey, i might be way off!!

Should've mentioned before - the starter motor spins no problem, I think it might be something to do with fuel starvation?

Does ur car got an after market ecu? If it is, it might be the cold start problem or some thing when wrong wit the ecu i reckon.
Hope it help.

fuel pump???

Check your coils... If there is crack on one of them, the heat from the engine causes them to expand and makes it very difficult to start hot. But when it cools the coil operates properly and has no problem starting. Do you ever get misfires on boost?

ohh do my99's have coils?

that would def be the prob then... this is very common on nissans

my99 don't often have the coil problem.. its usually the 94-96 and libertys that have the coils on the ends of the spark plugs that have fault.
