Hi
This problem has only just started to show itself as the weather is getting nice and hot. My escort will start fine from cold but if it has been run upto normal temperature and the engine is then switched off it is usually an absolute pig to start up again. If it's shut off and started up again within a few minutes it's fine but if it's left for longer than half an hour it usually takes 2 or 3 attempts to start.
It turns over OK when the key is turned and it sounds like it's trying to start as it'll chug and shake but usually gives up. It'll do this a couple of times but then start perfectly.
It's only started doing it in the hot weather so is that anything to do with it or coincidence?
Ideas anyone?
