    when it gets hot and you switch it off it doesnt want to restart?
    if this is what you mean, this has all the signs of a crankshaft sensor

    Hi.

    Sounds like an ignition problem. Start by checking the spark plugs, the coilpack, and the ignition relay.

    the sensor is new..(that says the older owner)the spark plugs and they are new..i think he know the problem but dont sayed to me..i go to master who engaged with PSA, he sait the computer should not be heated, when the car is heated the computer is not very heated but little heated i dont know hot to say it ;d..

    Is the engine running with too much fuel? Were the old spark plug tips black? or were they clean/brown?

    Too much fuel, that means the air to fuel ratio is wrong. too much fuel injected for the amount of air.

    rich engines are hard to start when they are heated.

    More like a coil pack breaking down.

    Yes coilpacks do breakdown when they get hot. As do crank sensors

    So it cuts out or stalls when gets warmer / hot and fails to start? Had a similar issue with the old vectra.. Had sensors checked and replaced and still got too warm and eventually cut out and failed to start until cold or cooler again. Turned out to be the ECU cutting out the engine and preventing the car from starting to stop any damage being caused to the engine. The engine would still turn over but fail to start. Get it checked out by a local garage. I'm not saying this is the problem but sounds similar to the problem I had.
