Car consistently won't start when engine is warmed up. Turn ignition switch and it acts as if battery is dead (which isn't). Let engine cool for several hours and it starts again

If you are sure the battery is good, check battery terminals for corrosion, damage. Also, make sure the ground to the engine is tight and clean. Finally, when it happens, you need to have the starter checked. It could be going bad and the heat from the engine is causing it to fail.
