Default Hot start/ cutting out?

Hi guys.

A mate of mine has just bought a '95 JDM WRX, and has started having problems with it. Initially, it wouldn't start when hot, this has gone from just leaving it a few minutes to over 2 hours, and it occasionally cuts out while decelerating too. Engine turns over fine, just doesn't fire.
We're hoping to get a look at it over the weekend, change the spark plugs, filters etc, but also thinking it might be fuel pump or ecu temp sensor? Any other suggestions?

Cheers,

Ritchie

Have you done a CEL check?

Look here http://www.saxonfields.freeserve.co.uk/

It should tell you what the fault is I'm with JGM on the CPS though. Spose it could be the water temp sensor (also a common fault)?

Thats awesome, cheers guys. He's only had it about a month so we were dreading the fact he'd bought a dog, but fingers crossed we can sort it now.
