Sounds like a problem with either fuel, ignition, or A/F related problems.

I sometimes have the problem that my NX won't start properly when the engine's hot. It's almost like the fuel is out of the lines...

I'm still scared to drive it though. I don't want to get stranded some place.

You know what? I did switch out the plugs right after I made that first video. It still didn't start right away, but eventually it did start. They were fairly new NGK platinum plugs too. I have Bosch platinum 2's in it right now.

May be the same problem I usually run into. My injecters were leaking or spraying too much fuel. You can actually unplug you injector harness and still start the car and run for almost 30 seconds depending on how much fuel is leftover in your cylinders.

This should get your car started everytime if that is your problem but not recommended as it may have detonation for a second when it runs out of fuel.

Stop using platinum plugs. Go get ngk coppers and gap them. Install and drive happy.

I'll give it a try. Do you have a part number for these NGK plugs?
