Temp sensor?

And not to be misleading but....

I have a consistent engine warm no start issue.

Drive down the hill (2 KM's at most). Engine temp needle registers 1/4
at most. Shut off engine. Come back anywhere from 2-30 minutes later.
It takes at least 5 sessions of cranking for it to start. Feels like
it's flooded. (Jetta engine conversion)

I suspect the purge valve is staying open and letting gas fumes to
gather at intake, which causes a rich mix which needs to be burned up
with these cranking sessions before engine starts.

Purge valve?
