HI All,
1 litre, 3 cyclinder, 1999
My Corsa perfectly works when it is cold. But as soon as it reached an operating temperature it seem to have ignition problems. I feel there is no spark or there are interraptions. What I do not understand why it is temperature dependent.
The sparks and plugs have been changed. This should not be the reason. When I stop and the engine and it is hot I am unable to start it again. That time the yellow light on the dasboard is on. If I wait until it cools down it works perfectly again.
I noticed that sometimes the relays behind the dash on the left seem to be clicking strange. Could it be the problem?
Maybe ignition coils?
I also noticed that the starting motor is rotating more than usual before it starts. It is because you can hear that the computer does not give it spark for a while.
Thank for advise.
