Nope?

Might be worth doing it tbh.

Ok, 130k ish so never a wasted job but why do you reckon low compression would result in slower starting when hot?

Before my coil packed up it wouldn't start unless i let the car cool down and then it started.

Coil replaced about 3 months ago when it died, same symptoms then and now :/

Well it could be losing compression as it gets hot thus meaning harder to restart
