How about the ect coolant temperature sensor ?? Thinking it's cooler than it actually is and causing a rich fuel scenario

[@MrAgha68]

I had this issue with my 2007 toyota camry. It gets hard to start when warm and I had to wait for like 5-6 minutes before I get it started. There are times it gets hard to start when it's cool. My auto mech couldn't get it sorted out. He asked me to make a video when it happens on the road. I got the video and immediately he saw it he told me it was the fuel pump. I got a new fuel pump and I have driven the car since then and I haven't experienced the hard start since then.

Engine coolant temp gauge like jack smith said.

[@Jack51971]

Bad coolant temperature sensor?

[@peterlearner8594]

Most of the videos give all the complicated reasons for this issue overlooking the simplest reason which anyone can check and rectify. Sometimes dirt or corrosion, even what you can't see on the battery terminals will cause this issue to arise. As the car is driven the battery lead will become hot so when you try to restart the car it won't and you have to wait for it to cool down. It's very simple and not very sexy so doesn't get explained. Many unscrupulous garages can make a fortune from this and over diagnosing fictitious faults

My brother had a Chevy Cavalier that had this problem. It had nothing to do with the engine. It was a sensor in the transmission that would send a sigbal to the computer that the transmission was heating up , this was in order to protect the transmission from burning up. Once the transmission cooled down, the car would start.

Does anyone else ever experience this. The engine starts absolutely fine and drives absolutely no issues whatsoever but every now and again (especially when the engine is hot) I start the engine and it starts but there is no power to the radio, fans or sat nav and no power under the peddle just an idle engine. Had a new battery and alternator fitted recently which seems to have improved the issue a little but still happening sometimes. Any advice would be appreciated

Hi, Mazda 2, 1.3L 2009, in morning it starts from first try, but a bit hard 3-4 sec. On hot it starts only from second try instantly. I tried to remove the fuel pump relay(relay works fine) and with a papper clip to connect permanent 12V to the fuel pump and in this case engine starts instantly. The question is, if this is a leak, would engine start from first try even after 1-2 weeks of no driving?? Any suggestions what could be the problem??

[@channeld3531]

I changed the temp sensor but still, if the engine is too hot it will take time (45 to 60 minutes) before it will start again then for a short period it will run rough. I will try to change the crankshaft sensor and see if it will fix the problem.

What was it??

[@AlAlawi1956]

I have BMW650I 2007, for the last three months I have noticed when the engine is warm sometimes the car will start with delays “funny start” when the engine is cold there is no issues. The car was taken to the garage, they said it was the battery, replaced the battery, replaced the keys battery also. The local garages are pretty useless including the BMW agent engine when it comes to electrical issue. It could be the electrical unit fixed passenger side underneath the micro filter where the starting ignition included in that unit. Your video footage was a bit confusing for DIY owners. Watching the video I felt replacement of the old engine with used would be cheaper and easier. Not sure the name of the unit in BMW650I but the cost around $120 plus labor charges. Thank you once again BUT different cars do have different electrical modular.

[@VXRHSV]

I have the same issue with a BMW 320d F30.. An hour ago I stopped car. Then it wouldn't start. Waited half an hour outside the car and it restarted fine.... It's a pain in the backside. I've replaced alternator and battery and it just comes back the fault.

[@AlAlawi1956]

I replaced the starter motor with original used at a cost of $150. The battery was replaced as well later. The crankshaft sensor you might need to look at. Also the cable inside the car from the the gear box shifter and the break. Before starting the car, push on the break three to four times till it becomes harder. Then start with one push button. I have been doing the same since I had the dashboard replaced, the radio unit also. My BMW650I 2007 model. Finally the junction box where the wires are connected check you might have water 💦 leakage. It’s very frustrating, annoying BUT that’s WHY you need to get the car checked well if you are buying used BMW particularly the M class 2,3 series as these modules have much more faults with turbo. Good luck and hope this reply can help you and others.

I now drive it like a tired old lady, barely going above 3x rpm. I believe the issue is a combination of the fuel filter and the fuel pump. Now, with the way that I'm driving it, it starts up without issue. It just sucks that I now have to drive her like I'm not practicing my getaway driving skills😔.
