2003 VUE V6 AWD 106,000 miles.

Vue runs prefectly but wil not always start when warm. If you wait (sometime minutes, sometime hours) starts with no problem.

When engine is warm it just cranks when trying to start.

Recent things done:
Battey New, Air Cleaner new, Maintenance normal.

Will soon change fuel filter and transmission filter but suspect that is not issue.

First of all thank you so much for your donation.I have an idea of why it's not starting but I need you to go to a auto part's store like auto zone and have them scan your computer for code's and if there is any code's let me know what the code number's are.

That's what I thought I emailed you a diagram of where your crankshaft sensor is to your personal email. Next time it crank's and won't unplug your crank sensor and put your ohm meter on 2k scale then measure the resistance across the two terminal's of the crank sensor it should be 800-1200 ohm's if it's bad it will probably read as a open circuit. If it does replace the sensor. It's most likely the sensor. Let me know what you find.
