I've been chasing an intermittent hot start issue literally for years. I may have posted about it here at some point in the past, but can't find that old post. In the meantime I do have more info that might help narrow things down.
When cold the car always starts. When hot the car will always start if not left sitting too long. For example, when refueling there is never an issue restarting. However, if left to heat soak for 15 minutes or so the car will sometimes not restart. The hotter the day the more likely that is. The dash lights come on, but the starter does not operate. No clicks. Nothing. After that the car will always restart if you sit around long enough. No more than an hour does the trick. The hotter the day the longer the wait.
The battery is new. The starter is new. The fuel pump relay is new. I'm out of ideas. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ted
