Warm starting
I have a 1998 classic, from cold the car starts perfect but when it's warm the car just turns over and won't fire up, I do manage to get it started eventually but I have to press the accelerater pedal at the same time, any suggestion would be great, thanks 👍 😀

It was just a thought as high underbonnet temps could cause the fuel to vaporise. In theory shouldn't happen if the system is holding pressure. If there are old fuel lines they may be allowing the system to depressurise but going through all the cotton braided pipes is a pain in the ****. You'd possibly smell it too.
Cam sensor is a good shout as above, high temps causing a signal breakdown in the wiring.
Is it over fuelling that's causing the poor starting? Is it rough when it does catch and a bit smokey (black)? If so could be coolant temp sensor causing the car to start as though its cold and over fuel.

Doesn't seem rough when it's finally starts, not sure on smoke, I'll have a look next time, just seems strange that I need to press the accelerater to get it to start otherwise it will just keep turning over. Starts straight away when it's cold.
