Bringing back this thread - as I am having a starting problem while hot. Car starts fine when cold - I have been topping up the battery, but it is a new battery and I don't think it is the problem.

My car is a 2002 C4S (with a 2005 engine).

Yesterday after stalling out at a light (purely my fault), it would not start up. It cranked but very very slowly and then slowed down even more as I tried again in a few minutes.

I called for a jump - but then after 30 minutes, I was able to get it to start. Cranking was a bit slow but fast enough to start up.

I am tempted to change the Starter, but have also heard that wiring can be less conductive when hot, or it could be one of the many above suggestions, fuel pump relay, impulse sensor, etc.

Any suggestions on how to narrow it down without buying a lot of parts???
