Q: Car won't start when it is warm.
Once my Saturn gets warm and I turn it off I can't get it to restart again till it cools off. When i turn the key it does not do anything it makes no noise. However the head lights do come on. When it is running it drives great, no problems at all. Thanks for any help.
