Will not start when hot?

Hi,

Based on the description, it sounds like a possible issue with the crankshaft position sensor. When they begin to fail, they are adversely affected by heat. Once they cool, they work again.

Do me a favor. Take a look through this link and let me know if it seems to mirror what you are experiencing:

Also, when it refuses to start, check to see if there is an ignition spark to the spark plugs.

Here is a link that explains how that is done:

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions.

Take care,

joe

I have seen engine coolant sensors heat soak and short out to cause this issue, to be sure let's disconnect the sensor when it won't start to see if anything changes. Here is the location. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
