Renault Clio I Petrol - renault clio 2000 starting when it wants to. - Clmetcal

right iv had me clio for 8 ish months the first 6 months it ran absolutly fine grat little car. however now when i turn it off and try to restart it within an hour it wont start up it just ticks over. its fine after an hour when the car has cooled down but if i just want to nip to the shop for milk or what ever it takes forever to start.

iv had the AA man out 4 times he cant find any fault cos by the time he gets to my car its normally been an hour and it starts up first time (which makes me look very silly)

iv been to a Renault specialist garage let my car with him for 3 or so hours he cant find any fault either however he did say it could be my coil pack so at £55 iv replaced that, but guess what my car still wont start till it cools down !

ARGH any help would be appriciated as my poor little car may have to go to car heaven

The classic cause is fuel vapourizing in the system due to heat soak.
