W/ onset of summer and 85+ degree heat, started to see this:

Engine at full operating temp. Shut it down. Come back 30-60 minutes later, takes 5-6 seconds to crank over.

Does not happen if I restart car within 10 or so minutes of parking it. There seems to be a 'heat sink' effect. Only happens if car sits around hot for a while.

After more than 90+ minutes, car cools off enuff that this is not an issue.
Dealer could not trace problem. Anyone else got this, or have an idea as to wazzup?

As I said in the other thread, nope, never a problem, even drag racing which features a lot of hard driving, the car off for 30 or so minutes. It laways comes to life right away.

I have no idea why your car is doing that.
