    Default Engine dies on warm restart

    When restarting my car after it has warmed up but been doing nothing for an hour or so - it trns over, engine fires brifly and then dies. It usually starts immediately on the next attempt. My beast is a VX II factory Dual fuel. Is this a tuning problem or something to do with the petrol injectors not firing for long enough.

    Other cars that I have seen this happen to (Not Holden's) it has been the injectors leaking. Changing them fixed the problem.
