1997 Malibu 3L V6 Suddenly hard to start. 101k miles. Lightly driven. Starts OK. Sluggish when cold. Very hard to start when hot. Let engine cool one hour or so, and it starts just fine. Any ideas?
Could you give more detail as to what it's doing exactly? Is it having a hard time cranking the engine or does the engine crank but not want to get started?
This can be a overheating problem...

The engine only warms up to normal temp. the car runs good its only after I stop and turn the car off and come back to start it again that the starting problem starts. And not allways but most of the time.
the car was running fine then suddenly stopped running while at a traffic light. The engine turns over like it wants to fire but nothing. the car was filled 4 days ago and driven 130 miles.
Hard to start when cold. Not a problem when hot and goes like a dream
