I have a really strange problem with my car. If I go any distance (say 15 to 20 miles) and kill the car, I have to let it sit and cool off for at least an hour or so before the motor will even attempt to turn over again.

When you turn the key on, you can hear the fuel pump, but when you turn it...nothing.

It will push start.

After sufficient cooling time, it turns over fine and I'm gone.

It's not an engine problem and I don't want to think it is a starter problem, but it's driving me nuts.

Any suggestions?
