[V8] V8 not starting-Sometimes

[William Gutierrez]

Eddie,

Is this start problem a "hot-start" issue?  In other words, does it only 
happen after you have been driving the car, stop it and try to restart?  If 
so, it is an intermittent sensor on the rear-driver's side of the engine.  
Others on this list should have better info on which of the two sensors it 
is.

Good luck.

Bill
