Blair, I would take a look at he TPS (throttle position sensor) located on the throttle body. In other words, it sounds as thought sensor when heated is changing its value to "open" or "shorted".
If the car starts OK when cold, use a hair dryer to heat the TPS when the engine is cold to see if you can duplicate the problem.
Also is the a service engine light on? Codes?
If you have a "digital volt/ohm meter" available you can read the variable resistance of the sensor when the problem occurrs to determine if the sensor is defective.

How i fix suzuki sidekick wont start after running 15 mins . i have to wait alease 1 hour to start again ?
Check for spark on a plug wire when it won't start. If no spark until it cools down, the ignition system is the problem. Could be the coil, the ignition control module (igniter), a crank sensor or pick-up coil, depending on your system, ...some of the most common things to check. If it just stalls, likely lost spark or gas to the engine cylinders. With a new pump, it probably lost spark.

Vw tiguan 1.4tsi engine light on/running only on 95 fuel
If you do not get rid of engine light on (yellow one), and computer diagnostics say: bank intake manifold valves stuck and/or toghether with errors in lambda sensors..do not change anything until trying to run only the fuel 99 or 100 for few thousand miles...assuming that you've used until now the 95 fuel. The TSI DOES NOT RUN WELL ON 95 FUEL, although VW says it does. After several K miles using 95 fuel all the evacuation and intake system will be full of dirts. I had the same starting with 80K...and after running 10K only on 100 fuel, the system got cleaned, engine light off, engine sounds smoother and no chocking in the morning. Now I have 118k and all is fine. Until I solved the issue with the help of 100 fuel, no auto dealer could tell me the problem..all of them adviced me to change different parts, upgrades etc.

97 Saturn SL 2. Will start normal when cold. Shut it off an it wont start unless its floor boarded an barely then. I replaced fuel pump, gas filter, both sensors on top of fuel manifold. Help
Have you replaced the starter ? That might be the problem. It's actually the solenoid that does that sometimes.

My 1998 Saturn SW2 starts when the engine is cold and runs well. But if I stop somewhere, the engine won't re-start until it has cooled down a bit. Any suggestions?
Ign. module or coils are probably to blame.
