I recently picked up a 96 hatch with a h22a swap. The car will start perfect on a cold start, after getting to operating temp and being driven around I will shut it off and try to start and it just stutters and doesn't start it will turn over freely just not start. I will let it sit for 20-30 mins and it will start just fine again. It did throw a cel and I jumped the plug it blinked 8 short blinks, I looked it up I found it to be the code for the tdc sensor, could this case my no hot start problem, any input is helpful!!!
