First, you say it won't start, but you don't say what it WILL DO... When you turn the ignition to ON/Start or press the button (whichever method you have and use), does the starter engage? My first guess, IF the starter does not engage, is that the solenoid is worn and should be replaced. If it's a starter/solenoid combined unit, you'd need the starter. If the starter works and the engine cranks, then when you first turn the key to ON, can you hear the fuel pump?

It runs and drives perfectly, but suffer from some sort of heat soak issue. It will run fine, is you switch it off and they restart it within seconds your OK. But if you leave it for 5 mins it will not restart. If you take the hood off and let it cool down it with re-start perfectly. I have replaced the cam position sensor on the top of the engine on the back of the inlet cam. But it made no difference. I added a fan controller so I could get the fan to run on after switching the engine off, but it did not really help. So maybe I just have to swap sensors until I find the right one. But what logic can I use to try and decide were to start.
