skoda felicia starting 1.3 - blue-1
Had a felicia for years-no problems.
Recently:- Symptoms as follows
1)Starts from cold,no problem
2)Runs, cold or hot,no problem
3)SOMETIMES,after 5 to say 14 mins run,if you stop the engine,it will not restart.Starter motor goes ok but no start.
4)Usually,if i try again after 5 mins, it restarts.Can take longer.
Sounds as tho its flooding but why? Any clues anyone ?

Change of symptoms!!
NOW sometimes will not start from cold.Duff temp sensor replaced to no avail. Less willing to start after short wait.
Garages' next guess is the engine wiring loom.
Desperate for ideas!
Immobiliser ?
Plugs?
Gremlins?

I'd change the plugs.

I'd check that the coolant is touching the bottom of the temperature sensor: it's held with a clip, and the "O" ring may need to be retrieved and fitted to the sensor for it to seal properly... it's a bit fiddly to get it right.
