1999 S70 hot start issues
This one is really getting to me. 1999 S70 GLT/Auto. 163k miles. Just picked it up 6 weeks ago. Changed plugs, coolant, thermostat, tranny fluid, oil, oil filter. Replaced the ABS module from Mid-West ABS (thanks, Matt). This car starts fine 1st thing in the morning. If I drive it for 30-45 minutes, run into the store or stop for fuel, she gives me a very hard time starting again. 10-30 turns of the key. The car turns over strong (new battery), just doesn't catch. I just have to sit and wait for it to cool off. To top things off, if I let the car sit in the summer Sun before I start it, it does the same thing just as if I drove the car, but the motor is completely cold. I am baffled. Thank to all in advance, Jason.

OK, for all those that have similar issues. I pulled the relay and tried jumping with a paper clip. Car started, so i decided to clean the contacts on the relay and where they go in on the fuse block. Car starts EVERY time. Looks like a cheap fix. Been good for 1 week now. Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for all the responses.

Not to rain on your parade but I suspect you may have just disturbed the fuel pump relay causing it to now work more reliably, for a time..
