In the morning the car will start. After I drive the car for about ten to fifteen miles and turn the car off, return after ten minutes the car will not start unless I put gas in the throttle body. Even then I have to put the gas pedal all the way down and rev the engine until the engine smooths out. If the car cools down totally, then it will start, but if it is hot and I turn the car off for only five minutes it will not start.
