Since it starts with a jump start, you have narrowed it down to an electrical problem. The fuel pump and injectors are new. I would look at those first. I suspect a bigger capacity battery will start it
The thing is, this is the max size that I can use (ns60l) if still using stock battery placement especially since it's small terminals. And previously even with smaller size (ns40) can still start. I am suspect the starter motor for now.

You can check how much the voltage drops when cranking. I dont think the new camshafts will add much to crank effort.

It is cranking, so why suspect starter motor?

Why need bigger capacity battery? A bit weird since jump can start......:confused:

His current battery is new. He even tested with another battery. Can only start when jump start with additional power source/battery. How does this not suggest a bigger battery will do better?

Further detail of the symptom, it can start fine when cold but after driving then cannot start again if stop unless jump started! My mechanic says possibly crank sensor, so when hot difficult to start. Based on my reading so far it seems to point the same too.

My wira had the original starter replaced with a refurbished unit. On hot days, after spirited driving or stuck in jam, starter gets heak soaked & refuses to work. Need to wait for awhile before it does.

check voltage before hot start ?

Probably old car wire resistance higher then, because newer cars are coming with smaller and smaller battery.......lol

ur case in particular, no amount of whacking the starter will help right?

crank sensor, i think u can just cocok and pull the sensor readings to confirm kan?

You have a very strange problem. I don't think it's a starter problem since it cranks, just won't come to life right? Perhaps you have a weak connector somewhere.
Yes, just keep cranking but if jump started with enough juice then it will on. Based on what I read seems to point to crank sensor.
