I have replaced the blue temperature sender but the car is still the same. will start fine from cold but if it has been run and is hot the car will crank several times before it will fire. I am beginning to think it is a lack of residual fuel pressure either the pump non return valve is faulty or may be an injector is leaking. I am contemplating which to go for first.
