My car will not start only when i am delivering pizza.
It will start up fine when its cool. but after ive been delivering for a while the car will randomly decide not to start. but after i let it sit for a while it will start right back up. When it wont start it would just crank and it seems like no fuel is reaching the engine.
I heard it could be a bad sensor or something with the fuel pump but what i heard could be wrong.
If you could answer this and give me and estimate on how much it could cost to get fixed.
thankyou

This is typical of a heat-sensitive camshaft position sensor or crankshaft position sensor. Normally the missing signal will be detected by the Engine Computer which will set a diagnostic fault code and turn on the Check Engine light.
