Check the ignition module and coils alot of times the module went its going out will do that.When it gets warm the car will shut off and sometimes it will start back up and sometimes it won't.

SOURCE: Hard start when cold, running rich, poor fuel economy

Chrysler has a bulletin out for a simular condititon that involves replacing the pcm. Heres the bulletin number 18-005-04. This is only 1 possible cause , Fuel pressure, coolant temp sensor, thottle position sensor all can cause like problems. Seeing sensor values and fuel adaptives with a scan tool helps pin point problems.

SOURCE: I have a 96 Chrysler

faulty computer
faulty wiring
excessive carbon in combustion chamber, when hot, pre-ignition occurs. try using high octane gasoline first, but wait until empty, before filling up. it will take some time before the new gaz gets to the engine as the gaz lines and pump still have the old gaz.

another possibillity is water in the gaz tank.
when cold the gaz enrichment might compensate .

Hi there my mazda etude 160i wont start at normal operating temp must leave for few minutes then will start again

When you shut off a fully warmed up engine, the temp rises as all water circulation has stopped. This extra high temp can cause electronic parts to fail which then work again as they cool. Somewhat rare, but possible coil/module or crank/cam sensor issue. Also may have leaky injectors which bleed down when you stop and flood the engine. Sitting lets excess fuel evap and then will start again. Just my thoughts.

Having trouble with engine killing or running rough even after it's warm.

not for sure but it could be your cam sensor. if the check engine light is on then take it to a parts store and they can run a scan and give you more information

1991 Buick Regal wont turn over.

sounds as if you have two problems the first is mechanical problem in the engine witch is causing the noise you are herring and engine to stall but if you did not here this till after you changed the crank sensor you may be lucky as that may be causing both the stall from before witch happens when they heat up and when you installed the new one if it is not set far enough away from the crank it may have hit it and that is the noise you heard and why it will not start back up pull sensor and see if end has damage.
hope this helps

1999 astro/4.3L/starts cold /runs 10-15 min. then dies will not start hot new battery.new coil/clean filter/pump 2 yrs old installed new/battery shows 14 amps when running/ won t crank when hot either/...

car shuts off when it gets to normal operating range. it takes 10-15 minutes to reach normal range. causes: low coolant, failing coolant tempurature sensor, air in water pump, check the coolant temp. sensor. if it is bad it will send wrong info to engine when hot, and shut it down. ITS WORTH A TRY!! good-day!

93 seville sts runs great and then after driving wont star fot 30 min to an hr. any easy solutions?

If/when you do get it started, do you have to hold the petal to the floor or give it a lot of gas to 'clear' it up again? Does it smoke when you first start it up? If so, you might have a leaking injector (s), the o-rings allow pressure to push gas into cylinders when you shut down, flooding the cylinder-will cause hard starting. If this is not the case, consider a heat-sink kind of situation with the crank sensor-it gets hot with normal driving, and gets even hotter with heat-soak when shut down and changes electrical properties (specifically resistance) until it cools down again. change the crank sensor.

Have a 2002 saturn sl2 sometimes when i start it and go into reverse it kills then i try to start it again i have to crank the key a few times before it starts again then it starts.. would it be a o2...

both of those are dobutful but could easily be tested with a scanner. I had similar issues on a 98 that were due to a bad coolant temp sensor and wiring. does the car happen to appear cold via the gauge when it should be warmed up? the crank sensor, ignition module, fuel pump, and fuel filter are also other potential causes along with other things

Suburban stalls while driving after running for 15-30 minutes. After letting it sit for 5-10 min it runs fine for another 5-10 minutes, then starts doing it all over again.

a bad crank sensor can cause this. shuts off while going down road, and will start about 10 min, later with no problems runs fine until it quits again. hope this helps,
