won't start when warm

starts first time every time when cold but 2 out of 10 times it won't start when the engine is warm only. the engine will turn over and over but no start but leave for a an hour and it will start again. it will start with a small push. i have no problems with the car other wise, any surgestion.

hi,

Don´t know your engine type but sounds like it could be the crankshaft sensor.

regards,
Toni

the corsas do seem to have a problem with the crankshaft position sensors.

try replacing this first as its cheap and very easy to change.
only one 8mm bolt
