classic dont like short journeys..what can i do

i have a 1995 classic wrx, and if i take it on a short journey from cold like 10 mins, it wont start again for anything from 20 mins to an hour

why does this problem happen / is there anything you can do

ps it did this before and after a service

My classic (93 wrx) has no problem with short journeys so i would think you have a more underlying problem.

Could be your crank sensor getting lazy. Generally warm starting problems could be caused by this sensor failing. I know after 10mins the engine is not warmed up fully but it's a good place to start. Do a search and you will find more info.
