Ok when i drive my car for a long period of time it is imposable to start it. I have to let it sit for about half an hour before it wants to start. I always had problems with it wanting to start but after 3 or 4 tries it would start. Now i notice that while im driving the temp niddle jumps up and down as the engine revs now the same day this started happening this is the same day the engine does not want to start while it is hot. I dont know if the tempurture as to do with it starting or not but need help fast can anyone pin point me in the right direction thanks.

the first 2 times it will crank then idle between 1000 rpm and 500 rpm when i give it gas it wont rev up then it dies. Then after this it wont even crank i have to let it sit for a while and cool down be for it wants to start an run. Will a temp sensor stop it from runnig though

Thanks do you know where on the motor the sensor is located. I also think it could be the coil also.
