Default Engine - Hot Start issue

I was wondering if anyone has experienced problems starting the car up again right after turning the motor off. It seem like when the motor is still warm and i try to start it up, sometimes it will give me issues. It will eventually start after a few tries. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

So, does this issue happen after you drive the car and turn off and try to start it back up?

Yes, it happens once in awhile, not all the time. Have you had this issue?

I actually don't have that problem. Usually the car starts right away once it has been driven. I think you may have a battery issue from the details you provided on the issue. Do you know if the battery was replaced when you bought the car?

i bought it used about 4 months ago and the seller said he just replaced the battery. The engine cranks but just wont start until i try multiple times. i have only noticed this when the engine is warm or hot.

If this only happens when your car is hot it is most likely the checkvalve in the fuel pump area.
