Hi D-Stinson,

Thank you for the donation.

I am sorry I do not understand your question very well.

Do you mean you are not able to crank the engine for the next 6 or 7 hours if it does not start up the first time?

When you say cannot crank, do you mean the starter is not turning or it is cranking but not firing up?

Is there any abnormal indicator lights indicating?

Do you have coolant losses issues?
Have you tested the sparks? They should be bright blue while cranking.

yes, if the car does not start up the first time it will be 6-7 hours before it will crank again

what i mean about cannot crank is it will be turning over the spark plugs are firing but it just keep dumping gas but wantt start

the check engine comes n goes and this green light with an S in it for the sports tranmission always stays on

one more thing it did run HOT a few times but not any more

Symptoms indicates a fault with the PGM-Fi main relay. The relay is knowm to intermittently fail due to cracked solders on its circuit board. Resoldering the circuit board would solve the problem.
