My Pontiac Intrigue has about 135000 miles on it. The trouble is that the car is having a hard time getting started. After it sit over night or for a long period of time it will start. But once you let it warm up ( cause it's winter right now) with shut off. Once you try to start it again. It won't turn over. So you have to wait about another 10 mins before it will start again. Once it starts again after about five of driving it will shut off again. And once again you have to wait about 5 mins to start again. Why is it doing this

I need you to check something for me. When it stalls and won't start, you need to check for spark and fuel to the engine. If you need directions, go to our home page under the repair and service section.

Check for both and let me know what you find. However, you have to do this when it won't start.
