Problem starting when warm
Hi folks!
I have a fiat uno 1.0ie and it starts from cold no problem at all, however once I've run it somewhere and need to start it up again fairly soon afterwards (say after popping out to a shop or putting petrol in) then it just won't go. Sometimes it'll start, but most of the time I have to leave it at the very least 5 minutes. Yet if I go away for more than 30 minutes and come back, it'll start first time again, no problems. Does anyone here know what could be causing this? Perhaps something to do with the automatic choke, maybe, since it seems to have problems when the engine is warm?
I also have the problem of it cutting out if I leave it sitting idle, which, being a driver for only 3 weeks is a bit stressful to say the least! But I see from other posts that this appears to be a fairly common problem, to do with the 'lambda sensor', which I'll get fixed when I get some money to take it to a garage. In the mean time I'll keep revving like a lunatic at traffic lights, etc ;o)
