   hi guys , little problemi have with my vts.
   
   it doesnt like starting when the temp of the engine is warm/hot.
   
   it would be fine after it has sat there for half hour or so to cool. ive recently changed the battery for a new one to try rule things out. but still no good.
   
   its seems when its warm the voltage to turn the car over drops dramatically.
   
   only just started happening all was fine a few weeks back.
   
   not sure what to check next so any idears
   
   thanks

   100% its the green temp sensor, is it idling a bit funny when cold by any chance?
