Replace the Temp II (blue) temperature sensor in the thermostat housing. It is causing the FI to flood the engine during warm starts. TEMiller

When I quit the garage one week ago, I didn't have any problem to start the engine. When I took it this morning no problem to start it from cold. I drove for about 40 miles and stopped the van for 20 minutes. When I tried to restart it, no way. The starter was working but the motor didn`t want to fire. After many tries when the battery starting to died, I succeeded to restart it. The motor was running great as usual. After that, I drove for 10 miles and stopped for breakfest. The same story happened when I tried to leave from the restaurant parking lot. > >(Thank you to have read my funny english until here) > >Any idea what could be wrong? > >Germain > > > >
