Possibly a crankshaft position sensor had the same problem with one of my former vehicles. Be careful buying a new one though it is an electronic part and it is not returnable at most part stores. That is what it sounds like to me though.

SOURCE: I have a 2005 chevrolet impala v6. In the mornings

you probably have the same problem i do with my car. My fuel regulator is leaking. I have to go have it replaced. It has taken us a year to find the problem because after the car is warm it doesn't leak. Good luck with it.....my car is the same year, make, and model. They must have just not made these very well. I have had one problem after another with it.

Testimonial: "Thank you so much for your feedback. My fuel regulator was leaking. Got it fixed today and no more fuel smell. Again, thanks so much."

SOURCE: 2000 V6 S10 - Won't start when hot...must cool down

Sounds like your starter might be going out.  Sometimes when they start to go bad they will not start properly when they are hot.  When you give it time to cool down it will start right back up.  The other thing it could be would be a coil pack because they will do the same thing but I would think if it was the pack that you would have problems with it shutting down while you were running.  Take the starter to your auto parts store and have them test it several times to simulate being hot and see what they say.  Let me know if you have any other questions.  Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!

SOURCE: have a 2004 Chevy Impala recently purchased used.

sounds like you have a wheel hub out causing the lights to come on. odds are it would be the front left. it's not sensing right causing the traction control to be turned on. or it could be a loose wire for that hub. gm cars has had a problem with these two issues.

Heat related ignition failures are often caused by a dying coil.

Have you checked the fuel pressure? I think that the fuel pressure is between 55 or 60 pounds. They won't run under 52 pounds.

my younger brothers' truck did the same thing and there was a relay up under the dashboard that would get hot and shut of(kind of a circuit breaker unit) most of the operating systems will flash at you when only battery voltage is available which explains the lights coming on..these newer trucks also have a performance chip in the system that will act up when it gets warm also..replace this and you may be ok..let me know what happens also.. good luck.

You need to replace the heater blower motor the motor brushes are worn out. The blower is under the dash on the drivers side and is a simple bolt in job once the lower dash panel is removed.
