What makes you think it's a heat related problem?



when I start it cold it starts up fine and when I have a quick stop to make (10 min or so) the engine seems to take alot of cranking to start back up....(eng temp seems alittle high, plus enging compartment feels hot) and alot of the times I'll open the hood and take off the air filter to get it to resart because I don't want to wind down the battery
