Why won't my Honda Civic start?

I have Honda Civic 2.2 diesel (2006 model). It starts when cold but refuses to start up when warm. My local mechanic has looked at it and changed four injectors and the crank shaft sensor, but it has not cured the problem. Any ideas

Rather than changing components ,have you had a diagnostic carried out as this may indicate the problem at a early stage.
If you do then if a fault exists it should show as P ---- 4 numbers.

If there are no fault codes then we would suspect the ECT ( engine coolant temp sensor at this stage)
