starting problems
Hey guys could really use some help. My car starts fine when it's cold. However, periodically after I've driven somewhere, stop the car, come back 5 to 15 minutes later and restart it, it won't start. The battery is strong, the engine cranks over fine, but simply doesn't fire. Finally, typically after 10 to 15 minutes and a dozen attempts, it will finally start. When it does start, it does so instantly, there's no sputtering, smoke, or anything unusual. The car acts like nothing was wrong at all. In general the engine runs well, has good power, etc. Also, when all this happens, there is no CEL.
Do you have any idea how I can fix this?
Thanks.

On these cars the coolant temp sensor is the root of many evils, and has caused this problem for several people. They're around $20-30 and there are DIYs online showing how to change them. Get a new retaining clip too - they're plastic and easy to break when you remove them.
