1992 FireHawk
Well...the shop that my car is sitting at has one sitting there with a problem...
4200 miles ...will fire right up, but if you shut down and try to restart...gets fuel and spark...but no start until she cools off. Any ideas?

my first though is it is screwed, you should sell it off cheap.

hold on....you brought YOUR car to a shop that can't even figure out the "hot start" problem??? 
I say print out the tech article we've got here, give it to them, and get your car the hell out of there

Well..they fixed mine ;-) Traced it back to a bad coolant temp sensor ...for some reason, wasn't letting the car go into closed loop.
On the Firehawk...the entire distributor was rebuilt...so a bad module was on the "less likely" list. Will find out tomorrow if it was the cause.

Personally I'd rather have the Firehawk. They just plain out bad, and not a fortune for parts like that 328.
But thats a sweet ride as well!
