Hello I am new here hope I can get some help.

My io does not start after driving for short /long distances. In order for it to start I have to start it minutes afters after I stop or wait at least 1 hour before I can even think about going anywhere. My mechanic told me its my ignition coils however I have doubts about it. Reason: when it a actually starts it works just fine.

If its of any help, when I turn the key in the ignition I get a ticking sound. Did an tone have this problem before and can offer some advice?

Cheers
