TB42 efi not starting when hot
TB42 efi. Starts fine when cold. Once up to normal running temp you can't turn it off or it won't start again. Will turn over no problems, you can smell it getting fuel, plenty spark from the coil and from dizzy to leads. Just won't fire. I was convinced it was the immobilizer, so I removed it. Still no success. Any ideas?

Dunno Doggy. I can't seem to get an answer anywhere. Surely this can't be the first time this has happened with one of these.

how does it run when it is going when it is hot ?....maybe the fuel system is not pressurising properly..though this normally creates the problem when cold starting ...the pressure relief is the square moulding with a bolt in the top of it on the front of the plenim .. have you played with the fuel system lately ?

fuel system seems fine. When the car is running it runs like a dream. hot or cold it runs fine. It just won't start when hot. Even gave it a squirt of the old "start ya bastard" and still it didn't even sound interested in starting
