I'm after an Ignition Amplifier, anyone got one for sale?

You mean a PTU? Series 1 or 2

Yea I believe that's it... Car is fine when cold but starting it warm it's running poorly until it clears.

 

Got a 92 JDM TT so I am guessing I have series 1?

Correct. Now's time to upgrade to a series 2. Instances of S1 PTUs going AWOL aren't quite as bad as people make out, however if you're going to replace it, I'd consider investing in a new style with harness adapter.

I was going to ask if I needed any kind of adaptor for a series 2 and you seem to of answered that :)

 

Id like to get the car working again so happy to take a series 1 but if anyone has a series 2 with a harness adapter that's the way I'd rather go.

Genuine question, is that a symptom of a dodgy PTU?

In the first instance, have you checked the connectors to the PTU for corrosion?

Yes that's all been checked and they are not corroded

The most obvious symptom, is the engine will cut out once it gets up to operating temperature; and then won't re-start until it cools down.

This. Ive had 3 PTUs fail on me and all three times the car ran rough, misfired then cut out and never restarted until the PTUs were changed. Now the black car has a series 2 and has never let me down. The red one i think has a series 2, but better check that!

For those that are interested, this repair guide for the early PTU's describes what actually fails inside the box:
