C4 Hot Start Problem
I have a 1992 C4 that runs great. However, if I drive it so it reaches normal operating temperature then stop, it won't start again until it cools down. Once started it runs perfect again.
I have replaced most of the electrical and electronic parts except for the ECM. I'm a fairly good mechanic and I have a background in electronics but I am stumped so I took it to the only mechanic I trust.
He spent three days on it and could not locate the issue. He did discover that when it is hot and won't start there is no spark. So, it's been on non op status for 2 years which is sad.
If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate your input.
Thanks,
Ray
