What happens when your car gets up to temp?
Heat causes electrical resistance in a circuit or component to increase. If you have a bad component that may have a bad internal connection, the increase in temperature could cause a voltage drop in the component. Also, heat can cause a crank position sensor to act up if it is starting to fail.
Why is my car stalling when reaching operating Temperatur?
Temperature gauges in vehicles are largely misunderstood. They will only give you accurate readings if they are submerged… Car getting no fire. Battery checked and is good. Started up, drove 4 miles to work. Tried to crank, nothing.
Why is my car engine hard to start?
The starter itself may not be cranking correctly due to the heat impacting the relays which drive the mechanisms (this was a common issue in old air cooled VWs, and with how some newer engines are crammed into engine bays similar things can happen).
Why does a car run when it’s cold?
While cold, the ring-cylinder mate is tight, keeping the combustion gasses from blowing by and allowing the engine to run.
When does your car run hot or cold?
If you are like most drivers, our guess would be almost never. Most drivers look at their temperature gauge so rarely that many vehicle manufacturers don’t even include temperature gauges any more but just lights that will come on if your car is either extremely cold or extremely hot.

What causes a hard start when the engine is warm?
Leaking fuel injectors cause fuel to leak into the combustion chamber. That often doesn’t cause problems on a cold start because most of that fuel has evaporated between the last shut down and the cold start. But leaking fuel can cause an extended crank and hard start when hot and then a rough idle for a while when the engine is warm.
