All right, you found it! :) Yes, as I said in another thread, you are the first 3.0L owner in quite some time. Hope you can stick around, and if you know anyone else with this engine, let them know we're here! :D

hehehe . maybe all the 3.0 are in the junkyards already :(
mine is trying to survive :P .

Hey brad. i unplug the solenoid you mention and that seem to be the problem. now i gonna change the coil to see if it starts when hot. still have that problem !!

[Brad97GS]

I didn't know about this other problem. Do you mean it fails to start when hot, or just when it stalls, that when you restart it and put it into Drive, it stalls again? The second problem is related to the TCC solenoid. But if it just won't start when the engine is hot...well, that would be something else most likely.

[cxpcman1]

yes i think they are diferent problems because i disconect the tcc and theres no problems at stops or triying puting it in drive. but it still have the problem that if i turn off the engine i cant start it again until it gets cold.

[Brad97GS]

Must be heat soak. Does the engine crank and not start, or does it just sit there like it has a totally dead battery?

[cxpcman1]

it crank but no start

You may want to look in this thread: http://www.gaownersclub.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21928&highlight=heat+soak

Though there was no solution (the owner never followed up in the thread). But there is some good advice. Also, if you do a search on "heat soak" you may find more.

thanks brad i already check that thread. what i notice when i try to start it hot . is that the starter drain a lot of power from the battery a lot more than the usual when cold. maybe it drain too much and dont let the coil to produce spark in the plugs .. i gonna check that with my multimeter when i get home

Sketch here,

I have a V6 that i have bought about 6 month ago, the thing is that i bought it for parts(interior/ exterior) for my 2.5, it's been a good part car, so far changed the rear bar, motors for the elec windows, mod the side holders to a Swift, changed the visors.

Some stuff like that.

The car was put aside after the struts were put on, then the owners went on vacation, bought an import which are smaller and forgot about the V6, then was given to me. The motor is untouched.

Looking for a owner for the motor. and probably have buyers if i ask around.

oh yea

I had the same problems everytime it rained. I would turn the key and it would crank and continue to crank until the coil were warm then the car would start. took it to the mechanic and he told me it was the coils that were cracked just enough so water would enter.

Check the coils.
