Could be the plug gaps but i doubt it. Still worth checking. Hot starting issues can be caused by bad Cam sensors or crank sensor. Not too common on these engines but still possible. A fault code will be stored for these sensors if they are faulty but the light will not come on. Another common fault for poor running is the breather pipe that goes from your cam cover to the seperator along the back of the engine. It turns all soft and squishy (feels like chewing gum. No, really!) and can block. I always check them on services as they are usually soft and split. Try them and see what u come up with |
