B6 A4 1.8t Wont Turn Over if still warm from previous trip.
1. 2003
2. Audi A4
3. 1.8t with 5speed trans
4. 137k
5. Quattro
6. Haven't ran any codes because I dont have anywhere locally to do it.
Figured I'd post this here to see if I could get any help. I love my new car in every way but one. After I drive it to the point it warms up to normal operating temperature and stop to go into a store or something for 30 minutes to an hour and come out to start it up and leave it just sits there cranking and wont fire up.
I try this a few times and it will start up usually the 3rd or 4th try but the EPC light comes and stays on. I then turn it off and turn it back on and it fires right up and the light is gone and I drive away with no problems.
It always fires right up in the morning, afternoon, or night time after its been sitting with no problems whatsoever and never leaves me stranded but it kindof worries me.
I have read that this can be caused by a faulty coolant temp sensor or engine speed sensor. If anybody has has this problem or fixed one like it I would really appreciate your imput, I am pretty car savvy and will be doing the work myself if it is just the sensors (found a few right-ups online on how to do each).
Thank you,
Pierce
