Warm Starting Issue
1988 1.7 ES now running like a dream however if you switch it off it doesent start. If I keep turning over it eventually stutters into life. If I leave for 5/10mins it flies back into life. Dosent seem to be overheating, new thermostat fitted. Any advice greatly recieved, thank you

Re: Warm Starting Issue
Glasgowjim had something similar. Next time, try opening the fuel tank cap! I think his vent was blocked.
There could of course be many other reasons! You will find help here though.
I had a turbo that did this and I never did get to the bottom of it though.
