Hi,
I have Fiesta ST180, 2013, no mods, recently loss of coolant, motor cooked, it was replaced with a refurbished one (it is supposed to be like new motor, got 2 year warranty). Since then there have been problems with warm starts. This one is extremely bad:

Cold starts are OK. Car has full power normally. It is enough to drive cold car for 5 min, stop 2 min and then the bad start happens. I would say it happens in 70% cases when I start warm motor, mostly in cases when the motor is not fully warm but was driven for 5 -10 min or so.
There are new spark plugs, other components around (fuel injectors, turbo, ...) are original.
Any idea what to check? I guess there can be a damaged component due to overheating (fuel injector ???) or there can be a problem with the motor itself or its assembly (which should cover the warranty). Thanks
