I have a 1991 Cabriolet that will not start after it travels a long distance. (an hour or more). If you shut the car off, it will not start back up until it cools down. We?ve had this checked out for hundreds of dollars now and they still don?t know the problem. This has just recently started happening. Can anyone help? Thank you, Swim
Did they check to see if the fuel system hold pressure after turning the engine off? The pressure is nneded to prevent fuel vapor lock.
It is probably an automatic transmission and the starter is not activating. I could be wrong though. ;-)
Better (Bigger) battery cables and maybe the Bosch recommended starter booster kit should help. Testing the wiring to the starter might tell you something too!

So it does crank when hot........... Well that blew my theory away! lol
Like Woodchuck said you need to check the fuel pressure. Also check the spark.
How hot does the engine get? Do you hear the radiator running at any time like when the engine is off? I am thinking that the fuel may get too hot and turn into vapor.
good luck, dave (One out of many daves)
