2004 1.4 - Warm Starting Problem - nijay
I've got a Renault Scenic 1.4 Authentic that has a warm starting problem. It starts fine when cold, it also starts fine when warm if started immediately. But if the engine has been warm & then is left for any more than about 20 minutes and you try to start it, it fires but then almost immediatley cuts out. You can try to start it may be 3 or 4 times before it will idle over OK. There are no fault codes on the ECU, I've already changed the crank shaft positioning sensor, the air inlet temperature sensor & the engine coolant temperature sensor, but none of these has made any difference. Does anybody have any other ideas.
