I have a 2000 Renault clio 1.4s It had a misfire issue which is now sorted as I have replaced the coil pack and ignition leads. Now it has had an issue previously when starting from hot it wont start at all leave it 5 miniutes starts fine and purs like a kitten. My idea was damaged battery but waiting to get my multimete back to double check. Any other ideas?

Most likely the Crank sensor but, get it diagnosed properly and order a renault one and the modified wiring loom that goes with it.
