I have a BMW e36 coupe 1995 1.8 with the M42 engine I think. The problem is that it won't start when it gets hot until I leave it for about 3 mins. It runs fine no misses or revving probs could it be down to the cold start valve someone told me.
Any ideas greatfully accepted.

Yea possible it could be that, make sure all sensors and plugs are pushed in and properly connected
