Hi,could anybody help.My Esprit runs well and drives well,but the problem i now have is the ignition.I start the car,it start first time.I drive the car to destination,then stop.I then go to restart straight away.But it wont fire up, turns over but nothing else.I leave the car for 10 to 15 mins and then it will start.On short journeys it is fine but on longer journeys it plays up,seams the problem occurs when the engine gets hot.Please help.

It could be a number of things, ranging from a duff temperature sensor to weeping secondary injectors, both of which are common issues. Pop over to http://www.lotusespritforum.com and have a look through the V8 Tech section and see if that gives you any clues.
