When I go to start my car in the morning it usually starts right up. But when I go somewhere and come back out to the car and try to start it will it is still warm it stalls. I have to pump the gas peddle to keep it going. My check engine light is now on as well.

This has been happening since last summer. I don't have the money to fix it so I'm not going to yet. I don't think there are any big mechanical problems but it fails to start almost every time. I'll keep reporting as it happens and maybe get around to checking out the problem.

Had the same problem as above, car would start fine in the morning but after being shut off for a few minutes it wouldn't want to start up again. Quite annoying...dealership wouldn't do anything about it, they claimed because it was intermittent they couldn't identify the problem. On a whim I checked the throttle body, it was very dirty so I cleaned that out and haven't had a problem since. Cost about $5.00 for the can of throttle body cleaner and a rag. If you aren't sure how to clean it yourself, there are videos/descriptions online of how to clean a throttle body. You can also take it in to have it done, should be under $100 for sure to have it done. Hope that helps-
