warm start

[vietNSeXy]

When I start my car in the morning it fires right up but when I let it run and it sits in the sun from time to time it wont start It only happens when its hot and only on warm start. I have the engine cover thingy off so you can see the motor and the temp when it happens is in the 90's+. Today it was just over 100. When it finally does start the idle jumps around a bit before it evens out.

I was told it is a TW sensor ... a thermal wax sensor or some thing. That when it fails it puts the choke on and the car wont start because its running too rich.
I was then told that it could be a relay under the dash.

Any thoughts?

Pull the clock fuse and reset the ECU and then see what happens.

I have read that alot of cars hesitate to start when warm. The trick is to turn the key to the on position and wait a few seconds for the fuel pump to pressurize the system and then turn the key to start.

Here is a recent thread that discusses this topic.

mine always started, but when warm out it took a while to start. that was a 100% stock low mile nsx

Do you think the TW thingy is a good probable cause?

I agree with BrianK...don't waste your money.

I had this exact problem with an Accord, but it turned out to be a wiring issue with the sensor, rather than the sensor itself.

Hi
I used to have the same problem with my acura vigor.I did a research it turned out to be a main relay(fuel relay).After replacing it i never have any problem again.

it's the main relay behind you. I had the exact same symptoms. when it was really hot i would not start. I would have to open the windows and let it air out for it to start.

Well I reset the ECU to see if that works. What relay behind me are you talking about? Can you help direct me for the replacement?

I repalced my main relay when i bought the car although it worked perfect, {just in case}. If I still have it, your welcome to it at no charge. LMK.:smile:
