My truck won't start after it is warmed up. I have checked the battery, alternator, replaced the starter. Otherwise it runs great, what may be a factor is the heat! I live in Arizona and we have been in the 110's for a couple months. Please help!

Will the engine continue running or die after it gets warm? Has the engine temp seemed to be getting higher than normal? When it won't start, have you checked to see if you are getting spark and fuel to the engine?

It will run when warm just not start, it can be push started and it runs just fine. Engine temp is normal. And yes it is getting gas and spark. It sounds like a drained battery but if I wait 30 minutes everything is fine.

Have you had the starter checked when this happens. Something tells me the starter is getting too hot and drawing too many amps.
