I have searched and searched locally and on the Internet for 3 days now trying to find out why my car wont start (89 Camaro 2.8L Multiport) when it is hot (or at least ran for awhile) seems no one has an answer. Seems also that I am not the only one with this poblem so I am posting what I did find for anyone else having the same problem.
These are all the answers I have found to the question "wont start when engine is hot"
USE AS NEEDED i.e. if you know one of these is NOT your problem then move onto the next. Good Luck.
