I'll try it later today and get a video clip of it so you can hear what it does. Thanks for the help so far.

I tried to attach a video for you to listen to of it trying to start. The site would not allow a .mov attachment. I'll have to email it to you direct.

I haven't been able to resolve this problem yet.

This only happens when the engine is warm. Engine cranks for a few seconds, then goes into spin mode with no compression.

There is fuel to the engine. Pump, Relay and Temp sensor all good. Something is calling for too much fuel when the engine is starting when warm. The engine funs fine after it starts.

Any ideas?

This was solved as a bad starter. Replaced the starter and no problems since.
