My car will start sometimes first go, like early morning or late at night, but it seems to not start either when the car is hot or when its a really hot day. I can drive it a short distance and turn it off to go into a shop and then when i try to go back home it refuses to start. It will sometimes fire but then die, and then an engine check light will come on and if i try to start it again it will just tick over but not fire.
I have tested the ignition and spark with my dad and there is spark. We dont know what to do.

Have the computer scanned for code/s-you have a problem within the engine management system that caused the CEL to turn on-This is your starting point of diagnosis,finding out what's going on.
