Hot Start Issues...

  1. #1
    Hoping you guys can help...

    Car started fine, drove 130 miles, turn car off for 20mins, go to start her again, and nothing.
    Will crank over but not fire. Tried a few times but wouldn't start.

    Leave car for about 4 hours until it cools down, try to start it, will fire on 2nd crank. Tried this a few times over a 4-5 hour period, always takes two attempts at cranking for the car to fire. Strong smell of fuel from exhaust, very rich on starting.

    No warning lights and no codes appearing. Car runs well once going however, no misfires or smoke.

    Recent repairs:
    New Crank Sensor (garage said this was required), New Lambda Sensor (flagged up as error code), Used Inlet manifold and all associated sensors (solved previous vacuum leak)

    Any ideas what I should be looking for, pretty confused on this one and searches haven't helped much.
