my car starts ok when its cold but is getting harder to start when warm and seams to be getting worse.
the engine turns over ok but just takes a while to fire up.
the blue and brown temp sensors were changed last summer.
the co is correct
my car is a 325 mtech sport pre-face lift fitted with bbtb, itg air filter and high lift cam.
hopefully someone can shed some light on my problem for me.

thanks in advance

9/10 times this sort of problem is caused by a bad blue temp sensor or wiring for the sensor....

is this likely as the one fitted is not a year old yet.
it was brought from ecp -- should i be buying one from a main dealer??

Check out the plug and socket for the injectors under the inlet manifold. Brown and blue sensor wiring goes through this.
