Starting problem whilst warm?



  1.2 daily +172 ph1
Right whilst engine is cold car will start fine and run perfect.
But after engine has warmed up to running tempreature and i turn the car off and leave it for more than 5 minz will not start back up to untill engine has cold down.
Could this be the crank sensore ?
 
Had similar problem on my Mk1 and never really sussed it out, went away after I cleaned up the ECU and earths.

When you say it wont start - I'm guessing the starter motor turns? Are you getting spark? Does the rev counter move when turning it over (assuming it does when the car is fine, mine does)

Could be the crank sensor but there's plenty of other things it could be. Check for damp in the dizzy cap, incase the heat causes condensation or anything silly like that.
