    car starts only when it wants to

    Well, I have had a problem with my car for awhile now that I have just been living with but its just getting annoying now. Sometimes when I go to start my car it will fire up run for a sec or two then stall out and wont start back up. If I let it sit for awhile then try again it will fire up and run fine. I checked for lose wires and hoses but nothing seems to be wrong. Just replaces all the wires, cap, sparkplugs, fuel injectors, fuel filter, and put in a cai and accel super stock. Im stumped. Any ideas as to what I could check?

    Oh and its not giving a code either.
    I'll think of one later...

    If its only started recently, as in since its begun to get really hot ......... It could be your main relay. Try a search using "main relay" theres a few how to's and pics of where its at
