A friend just asked for help in diagnosing his BMW:
-starts fine when cold -starts fine immediately after turning it off -impossible to start after 15 or 20 minutes -starts fine when you wait until the engine is cold To me, sounds like something in the enrichening circuit, blah blah. Any ideas? |

WAG...
Does this thing have a Coolant temp sensor? If so it could be faulty. Seems to me the engine thinks that it's cold when it's hot. Next time, when it doesn't start, get him to floor the pedal and keep it there and crank. If it starts this way then it's a sign that it's getting too much fuel for the temp of the engine.
