Fuel Injection/ignition Problem

[minijet]

Hi,

 

Are there any electrical experts out there?

 

I have a 2.0 turbo XM,

the problem is, the engine wont start when it's hot.

Its ok starting from cold, and it runs ok. But if I turn it off and try to restart it, it starts and runs for a couple of seconds then dies.

after that it simply turns over but refuses to fire up.

If I leave it a few hours to cool down it starts ok.

The MOT is now due but I can't get it tested due to this problem, I don't really want to scrap it, so can anybody give any suggestions as to the cause please.

Thanks,

Paul.

Hi. It might be the ground cable from the engine-ecu. often a problem on xm's if you make a new cable and solder it on to the cable(s).
