When my car gets hot, it won't start. You turn the ignition and the only way it will hold an idle is if you keep your foot on the accelerator. If you let got, the car dies. If you wait 5 minutes it will start just fine. The problem has been occuring for the last year. I have had it in the shop twice and they cannot figure out what is wrong. The fuel pump is fine, the fuel filter is fine, the starter is fine. It's very annoying not knowing when the car will start or won't start, not safe either. Also I am concerned it will graduate into a problem that will cause the car to die while I am driving it.
The car will start if it has been sitting for quite a while, but if it has just been running and I try to restart it, it won't start. But if I let it sit for about 5 mins. after trying the 1st time, it will start up right away. Sometimes while driving it will cut off for a second or two then automatically start up again on it's own, but other times it cuts off while driving and just won't start up again. What the f*ck man??
