Pushing the throttle to 1500 rpm the engine sounds well. After driving a few miles on the high way back home, ideling was well again, no problems. The problem is reproducible in hot weather after each stop and engine turn off. Any ideas?

Don't worry Marcus
Most do that in hot weather stop start or queues
