02 Chevy Impala with 177,000 miles has re-starting problems for last 20,000 miles. New Battery, cleaned throttle plate, new fuel pump, check engine light on (emission problem was told to me by mechanic). Whats going on? ---

I Take It That You Say “Restarting Problems” Rather Than “Starting Problems” Because The Starting Problems Occur When The Vehicle Is Warm, After Running, And Not When Cold. Is This Correct ? When the vehicle is running, is it running well ? What do you have to do get it started when you experience starting difficulty ? Does it crank, but not fire up (start and run) or does it refuse to crank over ? CSA ---

When the car runs it runs very well…to get the car started, just wait, sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes longer than an hour. All the time periodically cranking the engine…just does not start. But when it does start, it runs very well. ---

yes that is correct. This problems occurs only after the car has started and is warm. Let it sit for a while then restarting the problem occurs.
