1998 Clio 1.4 - Starting probelms

[GaleSpringer]

I have had my car for a few months, it often starts when it is cold but if it has been running for a while and I stop, the car will not start again for at least 10 minutes. Has anyone got any idea's or had the same problems. I have but it in to the garage, but the had it for 2 days and could find nothing worng with it.
When it is cold it starts when it it hot it doesn't. I stalled it this morning and i had to wanit for 5 mins before it would start again.

get them to check connection on battery. Mine had stupid ring things that kept disconnecting eventually someone put clamps on

When it stalls, does it rtick over when trying to re-start it or is it completely dead then bursts into life? It sounds like a dodgy battery connection but need more details! Have you an immobiliser also?

[GaleSpringer]

Yeah she ticks over when I try and start he again. I will check the battery. Yes she dos have an immobiliser. thank you

I have just answered this sort of question 2 answers above, heres a link to it so I don't have to type it again.

99% of the time it just needs the TDC sensor cleaning, follow the link to learn all about it.
