newbie with a question
Hi guys
New to the volvo community I just brought a volvo 440 1.8 The problem is that when the car is cold it starts up fine But once the engine is warm if you leave it longer then about 5 mins, she won't start and has to be left for about an hour before it will start again any ideas what it could be? Thanks in advance |

My best guesses would be either the stepper motor on the SPI unit, or something like the coolant temperature sensor.
