Hot starting problems
« on: 05 May 2008, 20:57:35 »
Ok here goes. Just got back from a trip this weekend pulling my caravan with my 2.6 estate.Everything working fine until i took the caravan off the car then went to move the car and it wouldn,t start. It would turn over but would not fire up even thou i tried putting my foot down on the accelerator then letting it off slowly >:(.After the car had cooled down no problem and fired up first time :o.This also happened when i got home, again same thing. No fault codes showing up and the car is running lovely apart from the hot starting.This dosen,t happen if the car has been run without towing. Can anyone please suggest what the problem is. It has a new battery fitted also.
Thanks :)

Easy enough on a V6, but you will need to have it code read to confirm.
