Default Car wont restart after 10 min drive?

So my car will start first time from cold but if i drive it for more than 10 mins it just wont restart if i stop. My coolant is topped up so i dont think its overheating. If i spray an aerosol in one of the pipes leading to my manifold it will then start. Ideas?


150psi compression on each cylinder as well.

Coolant temp sensor will be a good place to start.

Do you have any idea where that would be on a 1993 ej20 engine?

It's on the crossover pipe next to the turbo under the inlet manifold. There is two next to each other. It's the larger one with the 2 pin plug. 17mm spanner if I remember correctly and just over £20 for the sensor.

I had a similar problem yesterday, was the crankshaft position sensor.
