VX warm start issue...

[PDXChrisVX]

Hi, Great forum, I've been here a while but this is my first post.

I've had my VX (all stock except the radio--lucky find) for about five months. When I bought it, the seller told me about a warm start problem. He described it as something that had only happened a couple of times at the hottest part of the year.

Well, it's happened to me several times, and it happened last night when it was below freezing. The problems is that when the car is warmed up, and I stop for just a minute or two, like to fuel up for instance, it won't start up again (intermittently). But after waiting five or ten, it starts up and runs fine.

I had a similar issue with a mazda years ago and it turned out there was an electronic module in the distributor which was an easy replacement of a part (the module) that could be bought by itself.

I know, or at least think, these "modules" are often built into the coil nowadays, so I'm not sure where to start (distributor, coil, can it be bought separately).

Has anyone had this problem with their VX? If not, anyone think I'm on the right track or have any other ideas?

Thanks,
Chris

oh, incidentally, the p/u is on ebay right now, just in case!
