Default Hard to start when the engine is hot...

Hey guys. My car has become somewhat difficult to start when the engine is hot. First start up of the day it turns right over but if I stop it to run in somwhere and then try to restart it won't turn over. No strange noises or anything just a heave and then nothing. I can always get it to start usually on the second or third attempt. Any ideas? New starter, new battery, something else???

Note that this doesn't happen consitently. I might drive around for a week with no problems and then it'll happen.

Sounds like you are running rich.

How does that get corrected? Or confirmed?

Did you find the cause of the hot start problem?

Had the same ting on my GT3, turned out to be a bad starter replaced under warranty but could have been repaired by a BOSCH workshop since it was only an electrical connector that was burnt.
