Car starts every morning but once it’s driven and hot outside I can’t start it until hours of letting it cool down? Replaced starter and battery.

Hi,

The most common cause of this issue is the crank sensor. Clearly there could be other causes but I would not move on until we replace the crankshaft sensor.

Here is a guide that will explain this a little more:

I also attached the procedure on how to change the sensor. Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks
