Didn't know you could get a cheap smoke tester.
I have checked the hoses for leaks but with a home made contraption. I used an old hand pumped garden sprayer. Put a Plumbers smoke pellet in and pumped some smoke into the induction hoses. You only get about a minute before it burns out and starts burning the sprayer! Possibly not a recommended method but it showed a slight leak now tightened. Alas not the problem, nor was it the crank position sensor which I replaced yesterday. Also I have checked the throttle position sensor outputs in case it was showing slightly open when closed and asking for fuel when restarting. About 0.61V when throttle closed (or idling) which I believe is about right. Rises up to 4 or 5V with throttle and settles back quickly to 0.6V when throttle off. Fuel injector connections all look sound, and I have fuel pressure and fuel pump running when attempting restart. I have yet to check for spark when attempting restart but will do. Still puzzled as to why this condition is only present during the first few minutes of shut off. Engine is still surely fully hot at 6 to 8 minutes after shut off and will start normally, so not really a 'hot start' problem. Will update if there is any progress.

That's a real poser, given the long list of things you've done and changed. I agree, try and find out what's missing in the "no start" condition, is it missing spark, fuel being injected or both? This will hopefully help eliminate a lot of things. Remember just because you have fuel pressure at the rail doesn't mean that the injectors are firing and injecting it, so see if you can determine if they're actually firing. Spark is easy to test for, but injectors actually firing and injecting fuel more difficult, but equally important.
Will be following this one with interest!

Just some thoughts...
Could the EVAP check (one-way) valve be sticking open slightly when warm, creating vacuum loss, then closes once it has cooled down some? When you replaced the antenna ring did you clean the harness connector with contact cleaner? Although, you'd most likely experience poor starting from cold if that was the case.

Fuel injector relay
Hi
Has the fuel injector relay been checked at all ? Grey relay sits at front of the car just under the cowling above the radiator. |

The grey fuel injector relay is something I had seen in the forums as being a problem, but I could never find one and figured this was maybe just on the 850s. I only have an electric fan relay in the cowling above the radiator.
My circuit diagram for 1997 V70 does show a 'main system relay' that appears to feed the fuel injection ECU, and I have found this in the engine fusebox. I took it out to note the part number (9128164) and cleaned the terminals before replacing. I've been out today and managed to restart twice within a few minutes of shutting off. Not conclusive as this would have been possible by chance previously. I will monitor it further.

I've been on a mission to try and solve an intermittent non-start issue with my 1997 V70 2.4 N/A where occasionally it would fire up then die almost immediately. Usually first thing when the engine was cold but it wasn't guaranteed. I still had my fair share of embarrassing moments at the fuel pump. Very similar situation where I'd worked through everything I could think of from the antenna ring, fuel filter, vacuum leaks, fuel pump relay etc etc. Occasionally it lulled me into a false sense of security and behaved for a while but the issue always ended up coming back and it was driving me crazy. Stumbled across this post and changed out the system relay (9128164) and so far so good! Would love an update from OP on how things went
