Does it appear to be overfuelled (flooded) or a lack of fuel. Or even a lack of spark when hot which is preventing the fire up.
More investigation needed before we can suggest a cure.

Hot start problems

Be sure to have them flow benched / ultrasonically cleaned first (and install with new o rings) else you could end up with more problems than you started with!
Tim..
I'm quite happy to investigate (if I can be bothered), but I just wanted to get a few more ideas flowing!
BHP matters not a lot. It's torque that makes for fun.
Well thats not that impressive either TBH. In terms of torque:weight the MR2 was probably better. Certainly pulls better from low revs!
Needs a turbo or 2....
Don't think you'll find it cheap to fix the transfer box when it breaks - and they often do. ;-)
Thats the point though, if it breaks it gets binned and I havent lost much. In fact a lot of it could probably get sold on anyway.
Well, yes. Even the original MR2 was/is a fabulous car to drive, although it could bite hard. In its own way. As is the Sierra 4x4.
Dont get me wrong, I love them both! If I have to sell one at the end of the summer it's going to be a hard choice!!!
Remember a bit of fuel kicking about when cold helps it start...
