Problems starting car today

[Aeris]

Hey!!

Im not sure if this is heat related or not, as the temp guage on the car was slightly below half way, but i stopped the car after driving for bout 1 1/2 hours, and when i went back to the car about 15 mins later, it kept turning over and wouldn't start straight away, it eventually started, and i drove about another 45 mins to the shopping centre, parked undercover and went shopping for bout 30 mins, went back to car, had same problem, would this be heat related? and could an intercooler help solve this problem?

thanks in advance for any help offered

It's possibly a faulty coil ignitor. They become susceptible to heat after a while, and need to cool down before they will work again.

Nothing to do with your intercooler.

I have the same problem. Cold starts is perfectly fine, but once stopped for a while the car finds it hard to run properly again (say if i go shopping for an hour or something).

But what ive noticed is that there is no oil pressure. If the oil pressure is upto the first marking, then the car is ok to go. Otherwise the car will just stall.

I think its heat related, but ive checked the oil and the level is fine. I changed spark plugs only 2000kms ago so they should be ok too. I am up for an oil change though, so maybe i should try a thicker oil? Anyone have any ideas?
