Default Starting Problems

I have the 420a in my talon and cold start fires right up. Once the car has ran for an hour and then shutting it off it fires right back up. But if i let it set for more than 15mins Its very hard to start. Takes about 10seconds of cranking. whats the deal?

From what little your sayin I would say test your battery and alternator, alsoafter you turned over the motor a couple times pull a spark plug and see if you getting fuel. Check for any stored codes, and check for blown fuses. How are you gettin the car to run again?

Battery and altenator are fine. Car starts just fine when cold. Just if i drive it for more than 30 mins and shut it off Its hard to start back up. take a couple of cranks. No codes coming up on obd2 or blown fuses....

to me it sounds kinda like a solonoid on the starter, but that is me. similar problem but it did that for about a week, then would only start when everything was cold. so it sucked when i had to leave my car in a parking lot over nite look into it pull the starter and have it tested dosnt hurt anyways
