75 fuel injected 1.8. It's happened twice now. Pull into the gas station, fill up, then the car won't start. It will turn over but not catch. Both times, I waited a half hour and then it fired right up. Any common things I can check?

Assuming it is a starter heat issue the six cylinder engines (and starters) have the same glitch. Short of adding a relay I simply got tired of it and installed a high-torque starter... end of problem.
But truth be told the relay is a more elegant solution and saves your ignition switch's (start-position) contacts over time. |

He states it turns over, just won't start up. I'd look into fuel line heating. Are the lines subject to excessive heat from running near the exhaust, any axillary oil lines nearby, etc? |
