It starts fine for the first time of the day . I can drive for 10 to 15 minutes shut it off go say into the bank to the bank machine come back out and it wont start . turns over fine but wont start . It has done this before i changed all the parts above just tried putting in that stuff from what people said it was but still doing it . it will how ever start in say 30 minutes if i open the hood and dont keep tring it just let it sit for 1/2 an hour . And it was really dam hot the other day at work. and when i went to leave it didnt not start but i had not drove it for 8 hrs and did start in 30 minutes after opening the hood and lettting it sit .

Re: car has spark some times

When you try to start it after driving, does it make any noises...such as a click or is it just dead?

Re: car has spark some times

It sounds like the engine is getting flooded with gas somehow. Maybe leaky injector(s)? That would explain why the car starts fine cold, but when you let it sit, it turns over but will not start. It also explains why if you let it sit for 30min.-1hr. it sometimes starts again. This doesn't sound like an electrical problem...

the car turns over but will not fire because there is no spark. i dont think its a fuel problem or i would smell it .how ever it does have a bad injector oring that i am replacing ordered it and waiting for it to come in. im thinking my ecm or camshaft sensor.
