I've been having warm-start issues ever since I've owned my car and thought I'd see if anyone had any similar experiences and fixes. I found some threads on the 164 and Spider boards, but there didn't seem to be a conclusion. It also seems this is a somewhat common problem.
My car starts up instantly when cold. Same thing if the engine is hot and I turn it off and on, no problem. It's when the engine is warm; it has been sitting for an hour, two hours, four hours... Then it will take a few seconds of cranking (and pressing the accelerator) to get it to fire up.
I disconnected the cold start injector (CSI) to see if that would have any effect on warm-start -- no change. I guess the next items to look at are the coolant temp sensor (CTS) and the thermo time switch (TTS)?
Appreciate any help. It's not terrible to start it up warm like this, but would be nice to figure out how to have it start better.
Thanks,
