Subject: [DML] cold or hot starting?


I just got my DMC back from the shop had over 1,000 dollars done since its
been running. Well, to make a short story very short, I live about 15min
from my
mechanic's shop. I picked up the car it runs on a really low idle needs a
new
computer,
( Idle can be adjusted, what makes you think it needs a new computer.)

and the idle motor is sticking.( Yes, This can happen. )

It starts ok, and drives fine. I went to my friends house and parked the can
the temp gage was around 220. The car sat for about 30-40mins. I then went
to Red Lobster with my friends which is about a 20min drive, the car reached
just under 220 since it was mainly
highway.
( 220 is to high, your reaching the point of damage to the engine.This needs
to be addressed now.)

We went in to eat at 8:15, and came out at about 10:10, I went to start
the car and nothing. it would just about start then kick out. After a half
hour
of trying to start the car it finally came back, and the rest of the night I
had no problems.
( Cars get hotter after shutting off the engine and then in a little while
they start cooling down. You could have a pluse coil or Ignition coil going
out.}

The car has a new Fuel pump, accumulator, thermostat, time switch, baffle,
hoses, water pump, basically almost restored, plus more parts does anyone
know
what may have caused this?

See above.
I drove it to day to work and it ran fine, no problems.
