hi, some of you may have seen my thread on my corsa turbo build.
im using an e16se engine with a t25 turbo,
the management is standard at the mo

to cut to the point, its got a realy irritating problem where the car will start perfectly ist thing in the morning and run well, but if you switch it off when its warm (doesnt matter if its been driven or not) it will not start again until it cools down.

if the car has been driven and is warmed right up, u may have to leave it half hour or longer until it will start!

if you run it for ten mins and turn it off, you may only have to wait 30 seconds or a minute.

its starting to piss me off now as i cant suss out what the problem could be! it has spak fuel and obviously compression.

anyone any ideas????????????????? :(

coil breaking down with heat? rotor arm doing the same?

I'd say it was something like the hot restart valve (if the 1.6 has one) being a bit iffy
