Starting problem when hot

My car do not start when hot. Have to wait until cooled down, then it will start. I have changed the mass airflo meter with a 2nd hand one but the problem is still there.

    I dont know if this problem is fixed yet, but have you checked your radiator fluid levels? might be low, and therefore, doesnt cool down like it should..

Agreed with above - the coolant temp sensor is a pain on these cars and when it goes bad it screws up a LOT of different things, among them hot starts.

Try your radiator temp sensor located near the firewall, its green with a simple clip holding it in. Its a $25 part at the dealership. This happened on my S4 and replacing it solved the problem.

1985 toyota camry unplug mass air flow sensor engine will start plug back in engine dies
There is a switch in the airflow meter that keeps the fuel pump relay closed as long as there is airflow. With the meter unplugged, the pump should not run except when the key is turned to start. It would seem to me that you have a wiring issue. Try jumping the fuel pump relay so the pump runs whenever the key is on. (Remove the relay and jump the pump wire to the accessory wire--see top left diagram.) This defeats the safety feature but will keep the pump running.

I have a 2002 buick lesabre and the water pump was changes about a month ago. The car ran fine. The last week, the car is temp gauge is reading hot very fast. I dont smell any coolant and it doenst sm
some times when the water pump is changed you gotta fill up the radiator with coolant, run the engine until it gets hot, shut off the car and wait until the car cools down to put more coolant because some air may stay trapped inside and by following this steps you get rid of the air trapped inside.
try this:
1) when the car is cool take the cap of the radiator off and see if it's full. if it isn't, with the car still off, put some coolant until it gets full.

2) once the radiator is full, start your car and wait to see if the coolant goes down the radiator. if it does, keep putting coolant until it doesn't take any more.

Hope to be useful.

Hard starting
it could be an electrical problem.. temperature sensors may tell the engine its getting too hot and wont let it start until its completely cool.. you may need the sensors changed because they are giving false readings.. but the best thing you could do is to take your car to your nearest garage soon in case it turns out to be a serious problem.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

As a first course of action, I strongly suggest that you replace the ignition coil. If the ignition coil gets hot the car may stall or may not start right away till it cools down. The ignition coil is surely faulty and replacement is surely necessary.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Check the electronics in the distributor. Chevs are notorious for the electronics going bad inside of the distributor.

If the vehicle was running hot it will continue to overheat until you locate a coolant leak and repair or replace the leaking part. It is critical you do not wait to repair this. You must first add water to your cooling system before you can troubleshoot the problem. Add the water while the vehicle is cooled down. If the vehicle is having trouble starting it is possible that you have allowed the engine to run hot too long. You could also have a head gasket leak from the motor. This could let coolant leak into the oil and you can check your oil and find a milky white substance that is a mix of coolant and oil. If that is the case you need to take the vehicle to a motor repair shop. To troubleshoot leaking cooling system get or borrow a cooling system leak check kit. It screws on in place of the radiator cap, you pump it up and use a flourescent light to then look in the engine compartment under the hood for a dripping green coolant leak. Good luck.
