My 2002 3.4v6 chevy impala stalls out when it hot out and will have to wait about 20 min before its starts up again

Check Fuel Pressure with a gauge when it does run

Fuel Pump may be failing

Check that the Cooling Fans come on
& it isn't going into fail-safe, if that applies

Check coolant,not just look at recovery tank
Remove radiator cap & look

Have to have your car checked over once
or twice a year at a repair shop

Not just wait for break down maintainance

2000 Mercedes CLK..I think it is a vapor lock problem..car starts as usual but 5-7 minutes later it just shuts down..happened in traffic..so I dont dare to drive it..Afterwards it doesnt start unril...

Sounds like the crankshaft position sensor needs to be replaced. They are a common problem with the Mercedes. That sensor is the one that the engine control module looks at to see if the engine is running. When they get hot and stop producing a signal the engine control module thinks the engine is not running and shuts of the fuel. After waiting awhile they cool down and the vehicle will start up again. I've changed many of them when I worked at the dealer. Tricky part is when there working and the car is running there will be no check engine light on or code stored. Usually will only have the code when the car won't start. Let me know what you end up finding out on it but that would be the first place to look and probably the cheapest.

Car not starting - Intermittent

intermitten problems are the worse, when it wont start check fuel pressure with a gauge, and then check for spark, i have spent days on problems such as this, what you have to find is what is missing, fuel ,spark, is maybe coolant leaking into one or more cyls, i have seen air in the fuel system that only cause problems when under hood temp is high, open the hood and it cools enough to to start, hope this helps

o2 sensor will not stall your truck,ecm will bypass o2 code and run on open loop,or ecm default setting,dont search further ! your problem is all related to remote starter and bypass,youll have to fix wiring properly to original state,or your problem will probably get worse!

Security SystemProblem.

clarify me(my home languege is not english),starter is not turning(work)!?and you have a good battery so the TWICE(imobiliser) is the problem!
But if the starter turns,can be crankshaft sensor,fuel pump,fuel pump relay.
Connecting the TECH2 is the best to start diagnostic
