Mark Won't start when engine warmed up       12/10/2004 00:55 Edit   Reply   I need a 1990 V8 Quattro expert, I have a perplexing situation. For the past month, every time I drive the car long enough to warm it up, if I let the car sit for 45 min to 3 hrs. After running, the car will just crank and crank without starting. I thought it was the fuel pump the first time it happened. I sprayed some ether (starting fluid) into the air filter area and the car starts right up and runs great. This happens time and time again. If the car sits a short time after running, it will start right up. If the car sits overnight in the garage, it will start right up in the morning. I thought it was the fuel pump relay, but that is working fine. I am sure the fuel pump is running, but the car will not start after sitting until I spray some ether into the air filter. It seems to be a temperature situation as it always starts after the engine is cold. I am baffled. Any advice as to where to begin to troubleshoot? Has anyone had this similar situation? Any advice is welcome. Thanks a lot for your help. Post Extras
