After driving my truck for about thirty minutes, to the point that it is up to operating temperature, when I shut it off, it will not restart even though the engine turns over. I changed the fuel pump thinking that was the problem, but it continues to not start. After the truck cools down for about an hour, it will start right up and go for as long as I need it to.
