What to do when a hot engine is hard to startWritten by Jakob Jelling
Although usually engines exposed to cold weather is most known problem related to car starting difficulties, hot engines might bring obstacles as well. Many people realize that car do not start as easily as it should when engine is hot and do not know what to do about it. In order to be able to overcome this problem, it is important to start by learning why it happens.Most of reasons by which a hot engine would be hard to start are based on problems related to fuel. When engine is too hot, fuel can't circulate properly due to way in which vapor obstructs it and therefore engine wouldn't start as easily as it should or it wouldn't start at all. A car engine would keep on gaining temperature until a while after it was shut off. During this period of time is when highest amount of vapor would be circulating around and therefore that is when chances it obstructs engine are bigger as well. This way, if you are driving in hot weather and you have just turned off car in which you experience start problems, you should wait for a few minutes until starting it back.

Starting a car with a cold engine can be very difficult sometimes and it can become a real obstacle for those who live surrounded by extremely cold weathers. This way, for all those who might experience this problem it is not only important to learn how to overcome it but also why it happens in order to be able to prevent it as much as possible as well. Cold engines might experience problems at time to start due to different reasons. One of these reasons can be based on effect which cold has on liquids evaporation. When it is cold, gasoline evaporates less and this cause it to be more difficult to burn due to fact that it is burnt when it is evaporated. Another reason by which a cold engine might have problems to start is caused by fact that oil becomes much thicker in cold than way it is in hot. Oil, like any other liquid changes its consistency when it is exposed to very low temperatures as well as it changes back when it is in a very hot weather, and this might cause oil to have problems at time of circulating in car engine.
