superdavelotus Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 (edited) Hi Bill, I live on Wirral which is about 50 miles from you. I have a OBDII cable which you can hook up to your car if you wish? Also Jeff Hooper lives in Manchester and has a OBDII cable too! I think it's your temperature engine sensor myself. There's a possibility of coils but I think by now they would also start to make the car run rough or not at all with misfires etc. Having checked the manual the engine coolant temp sensor is part number A910E6928F and it was Edited May 22, 2007 by superdavelotus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmendoza Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 Leaky injector flooding the engine? Quote '03.5 Final Edition Esprit ~ 5.7lbs/hp mildly modded - 430rwhp, 353rwtq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasuSan Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 If the car crank, the engine is hot but will not start, chances are... its a leaky injectors (more than one). If the fuel pump is at fault, you will never survive and will not get to where you want to go. If the coil is at fault (hot & boiling), you will not survive either. So, its not the fuel pump or coil. When you stop the car, the fuel system is pressurized, will dump raw fuel in the cylinders. You cannot start the car until the raw fuel disipates. Other area to look is vapor lock.
