[QUOTE="dubaroo, post: 627283, member: 13889"] been having problems starting van when it's hot, I was thinking it was a fuel issue, but over the weekend took van out of garage and accidently left the ignition on for about half an hour. then it wouldn't start. same symptoms as my 'hot start' issue's, but with a cold engine. Had a quick check in engine bay, coil is extremely hot to touch put a bag of frozen peas on it to cool it, then it started fine. I am guessing the coil is dying and has been responsible for the starting issues. Its a 1600 sp with points and condenser. I was looking at a bosch blue coil, or petronix flamethrower. just wondering what opinions people have, and do I need to change anything else, like HT leads etc. cheers. [/QUOTE]
