When my car is fully warmed up and I kill it or turn off the ignition, it usually won't start for about 3-5 minutes - until it cools off.

The temp gauge is good (even though that doesn't tell the temp in great detail). And I have double checked everything I can think of. I thought it was my clutch stop but even without a clutch stop installed it still won't start unless I bump start it (push start it), or let it cool.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

next time your car dose this open the hood and try to feel how hot ur car rly is, dont just go by the tempeture gauge. if it feels normal, i have no clue. if it feels rly hot try checking to see that ur fan is working and anything else to cool down your car

Are you saying that your car will not even turn over? Or it will turn over . . an over . . an over, but will not start. Which one?

I was in the same situation.. found out it was a bad camshaft sensor.

I don't know though.. if it's a bad sensor it should be throwing up some codes.

you're not overheating though are you?

Not even turn over.
