Intermittent starting problem with 160 Suzuki engine when hot

[arthur rayner]

Hi all

My car has only 3500 miles on the clock, and today I ran it the hottest so far, up to 6K revs, not constantly. Shut it down, then went to re-start after a couple of minutes, and on one occasion after 10 mins, and the gauges would not run to deflection, and the engine wouldn't at first start. This seemed to be an electrical fault perhaps to a sensor? It did finally start on both occasions, but the rev counter was slow to "fire up". Any ideas?

I'll keep it under observation, but today was the longest runs it has been out and up to 70mph. I also noticed that the alarm on the key sensor was slow to activate, and maybe this is/was the intermittent problem?
