Alwaysnextyear Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Won't start once up to temp. Starts up right away when cold. Runs smoothly, doesn't hesitate while driving. Just won't start until its cooled down. Any thoughts would help. Thankd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee2 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 You say "it won't start" Does it crank , or is it just totally dead ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwaysnextyear Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 It cranks over.If I wait 45 min to an hr it starts right up. The car is extremely clean. No smell of gas nor do I try to press gas pedal to the floor when trying to restart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwaysnextyear Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 I also have a huge folder of maintenance receipts from first two owner so been trying to compare what they've replaced to somewhat similar problems in the forums but I'm at a lost.

Dee2 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) did you check for any computer codes ? If no codes then possible causes are: -vapor lock, next time it fails to start try removing fuel cap off gas tank to see if it helps -fuel pump/ relay affected by heat -coolant temperature sensor -alternator / voltage regulator being affected by heat Edited July 14, 2016 by Dee2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwaysnextyear Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 No codes. Everything but alternator/ volt regulator has been replaced by last owner within the last few months. I'll test or replace those. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The alternator & voltage regulator don't begin to do anything until the engine is running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The next time it happens, check for spark, and fuel pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somick Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Mine was doing the same thing. It was a poor contact on the alternator control wire. Try to wiggle it and attempt to start it again. Good luck, Sam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwaysnextyear Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 It gets spark and fuel. I've owned the 92 for a few days now. Thanks for the ideas (on both the posts) I'll try them all after work today. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdweninger Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 My money is on the coolant temperature sensor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 CTS could do that. Easy to test at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwaysnextyear Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 If I disconnect the CTS the car should start right?? Also a friend told me the ea82 has a "oil charge canister". Which if true causes same symptoms, but can't find anything online about it. Is this true?? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveT Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Never heard of an oil charge canister. No, test the CTS with an ohmeter and thermometer. The FSM shows a handfull of temperatures and resistance readings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alwaysnextyear Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 So I replaced the CTS. It restarted a little sooner around 20 mins compared to an hr. But then cleaned control wire from alt to starter with MAF cleaner(all I had) and good as gold. Now time to lift.
