Customer Complaint

The customer reported that the vehicle would not start when hot, and sometimes not even when cold.

Problem Summary

The vehicle would initially start and run, but once stopped after 10–15 minutes of operation, it would not restart on either petrol or LPG. Both injector pulse and ignition coil pulse were present briefly on initial crank but dropped out almost immediately, preventing restart. The vehicle had no MIL lamp visible on the dash, preventing initial fault code retrieval.
