    i have a 93 with a 3.0 v6 and when starting it freezing cold in the morning it starts up no problem, but after running it for a while and when i shut it off for more than like 10 minutes it wont turn over till like the third time i turn the key. any ideas on wat the problem is? pretty annoying!

    do you get a raw fuel smell?? possible flooding?

    how many miles are on the motor? hard hot starts could also question your compression....... rings may be worn causing it a hard time to keep compression.

    check your coil........ if the coil over heats may not give sufficient spark if any at all......

    just a few areas you may wanna look into.......

    i had had a problem where my starter sylonoid (sp?) would stick in the summer and all it would do was click but not turn. so i put a new starter in it and havent had a problem since

    Also check all major electrical connections going to the battery, starter, ignition coil, fuel injectors. check the basics like making sure your engine/car has been up to par in tuneups as well. start there and get back to us. Hope this helps.
