Let's make sure we understand what is happening. You tacked your question on to a thread that deals with an engine that shut off randomly and was hard to restart:
Is the problem the thread starter posted (quote above) the EXACT same problem you are having?Quote:
I seem to be having a heat soak problem with my car causing it to shutoff while driving. No check engine light, check gauges pops up though. I had this issue last summer one day, randomly shut off while stopping, wouldn't restart til hours later.
Does it ever shut down while idling?
Does the engine need to cool down before it will restart?
Is it hard to start after it has cooled down?
When the engine shuts down, and you retry to start it, but it won't start, does the tach move up 200-300 RPM when the starter is cranking the engine?
