my elise decides not too start after running beautifully....

Car fails to start, although fan is completely on as temperature shows min 75 degrees ( although engine cold). When ignition key is turned the car back fires and splutters but then dies....

Leave it for 2 or 3 hours and it seems to clear itself...

Have had to call the RAC out twice now!!!

Has this happened to anyone else out there?

Faulty temperature sender (or wiring connection to it) would be first suspect.
