If you have a CEL, check your CAM and Crank Sensor. If you don't, check your timing, belt probably jumped a tooth. Might also use this time to replace the tensioner with OEM part as well.

Go back to post #2 and pay close attention to what Zed said.



Got any other clues or handy information about the problem?

I had a problem from brand new 7th Gen car with 1.7 motor.
After running for a while and stopping engine, say for gas it would crank but was hard to start.
Last year on really hot days the engine would just stop intermittently for no reason and after about 10 minutes I could start it normally again.
Eventually found the problem was the TDC Sensor failing with heat soak at garage or during really hot weather (>38deg C)
Old sensor had J5T23991 2509 PLC written on it.
I replaced it with 37840RJH006 Sensor from Honda which Supercedes J5T23991 2509 PLC
It was showing Fault Code P1361 when it was failed and hot.
Hope this helps.
