So about 6 months ago i purchased a 95 jetta GL w/ only 46k on it. I absolutely love the car. The interior is in great condition, it's 5 spd and such. Well let's just put it this way, i wanted a 4dr that wasn't so hard on the eyes.
Anyway let me cut to the chase. About 1.5months ago i was driving home from work (1.5miles). On the way home it died on me. I first though i was hit by another car but it was just dead. I figured out what that problem was and fixed it. Turns out that the cap and rotor were getting a little old. I replaced them and everything worked out. Within the next week i went on a long trip to fl. It was 1k each direction. Well after about 8hrs or so into the trip i needed to stop. Ever since that stop when the engine is warm and i try to start the car keeps turning over for a while and then starts. The weird thing is that i never have a problem when the car is cold.
Any ideas?
