When the car is cold it starts right up, but after it has been driven for a while it becomes difficult to start a few minutes after it has been shut off. I have recently replaced the spark plugs and wires. Might it be the oxygen censor?


Thanks

Thats a difficult one to help with, There are so many reasons that could cause that problem from electrical to mechanical you may want to havea properly trained professional take a look at that one..

if it drags or the starter turns slowly check for a bad starter they tend to drag when hot. if it spins over at normal speed ..then check the ignition control module..[img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

Check to see if you have a UIM leak (upper intake manifold),only shows when warm due to air press/and temp.
