[s-cars] //Sbitch hard to start when hot

[Emre Washburn]

Most likely suspect is your crank position sensor. It sits along side
another sensor, right on the bell housing of the transmission, on the
drivers side of the engine bay. When these things start to go bad,
they exhibit their symptoms more so when they are heated up.
