TB42 efi not starting when hot

[afatboy]

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?

Have you checked the dizzy cap for hairline cracks? Same thing happened to my old Golf......... Other than that mate, I can't help. Sorry.

Still playing up Neil, hopefully someone will be along with the answer mate

What do you mean you cant turn it off ??
Check all vacuum hoses they may have perished or come loose

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

if it has fuel and good spark then it would be electrical...something is breaking down when what ever it is gets hot....sorry I cant help any further...I get lost in that area

Should mention too, it can be tow or roll started...
