I have a 2000 pontiac montana. When I drive it and the van is hot it will not start. I can start it within 10 minutes of turning it off but not over that time up to an hour sometimes. Better in the winter because it cools off faster. Very frustrating vehicle. Can you tell me what needs to be fixed?

Hi,
I own a 2002 Montana and the same thing was happing to me. I had my fuel filter replaced (in the gas tank) and it hasn't had any problems starting since. Also, keeping a half of tank of gas, will help keep your fuel filter cooler until you can have it diagnosed or replaced. I hope this helps!
