This topic seems to be a common problem where an engine will start no problem when cold, but after it has run for a while and you shut it off you have a difficult time starting the engine again. The trouble starting the engine almost feels like a carburetor that is flooded.
Here are my combined issues that happened today...I first noticed that the tach was erratic, slightly surging at moments, I also noticed at the same time that my temp gauge was flat lined. I went into a store, when I came out the vehicle had a hard time starting, it felt flooded and I had to floor the gas pedal to get it to start, after it started I took my foot off the gas and the tach was holding steady at 3000rpm, and it took a few moments for it to go down to 1200rpm, where it stayed while idling.
Now I started googling this issue and there are so many suggestions of what it could be such as;
Crank position sensor
Coolant level sensor
Coolant temperature sensor
Cam sensor
Mass airflow sensor
Now based on all the combined issues that happened to me what would you narrow down the possibilities to???
Thanks in advance for your time to read this and your input, I appreciate it very much.
