I had this problem with two cars, Grand Prix 2001 w/3.8L and my 1985. With the Grand Prix, it was a little difficult to start after the engine was hot and I turned it off. The fuel rail was bad, low suction and wasn't pulling in the gas in. It was rebuilt for about $100 yet I had a feeling all they did was replace a rubber hose they had left hanging off from my last visit. With the Audi 5000S Turbo, after the engine was hot, if I turned it off to run into the store, house, etc. and came back a few minutes later it would not start easily. Eventually it would but not easily. The issue here, carbon build up on the back side of the inlet values. When they got hot the carbon expands like a sponge, right where the gas sprays before getting sucked into the chamber but instead soaked into the carbon. Using Chevron's Techtron every other month seemed to help a little but not like I wished. However, I now use this about twice a year in my Pontiac to keep the spray jets and values clean, seems to work the best out of anything on the market.

Why does engine cooling fan keep running?

On some makes of vehicle, the engine fan is supposed to keep running after the engine is shut off, if it was operating on a long trip on a hot day, for example. Come back to the car in 10-15 minutes. If the fan is still running, you have a problem. If it has shut off, all is well.

How do you know which coil pack to change on the megane 02?

disconnect the first coil lead and start the engine, if it makes a difference with the running of the engine then stop engine and replace the lead, do this with the other three, stopping the engine each time, eventually you will find the one that makes NO difference to the running of the engine, that is the one you must change but please remember to stop the engine each time, there is a lot of voltage there.
