Car will run fine for maybe 20 -30 min then will start running ruff and will not restart after turning car off. I changed fuel filter and it seemed to run better for a short time then the same problem started again. If I let the car sit for 20-30 min after stalling it will fire back up and run fine.

Another thing is that since I've had the car (about 1 yr) It's never really wants to idle correctly especially when cold. It does not increase rpm's when cold. I have to increase the rpms by stepping on the accelerator pedal.

I've been told it may be a computer contoller error?

Looks like the same issue. Car would run fine. I park it. I come later after 10 minutes, try to start the car. Does not start. After 30-40 minutes or so ( not sure how long). It starts. Tried restarting it after stopping it, it wont. After an hour, it starts. The next day morning it does not start. I am going to try after an hour to see if it will start.

Sometimes when cars start sometimes then quit or won't start again and then will later it is usually the starter if it won't start after turned off or the fuel pump if it runs for a bit then quits and starts again later. If it is the starter if you knock on the solonoid (on the starter) it should start. That's the best I can think of
