hi
i have had a vtr phase1, the headgasket went on it so i decided to just replace the engine on it. once the garage did the engine change the car started to play up. when the car is cold it will start up fine and drive perfect but once it warms and you turn it off the car will not start back up untill the car is cold. can anyone help me? the garage goes they think the ECU is playing up? and told me to buy an unlocked ECU or buy an second hand ECU with the black box and the key code ring and key. could it be anything else?

What does the Engine do when you try to start it?

I had this with my car last year exact same swapped the coil pack & it fixed it straight away.

I was going to say, it'll be the coil pack, they break up when they get hot.

Change that and see :)
