96 saturn takes 10 min to start on warm engine

My 96 saturn will fire up great in the morning or when the engine is cold, but if i have to stop somewhere and turn it off for a min. it takes a good 10 min. of working the peddle and ignition to get it to start again. I heard it might be a safty switch or a broken temp gauge? can you please help me out.

Mine 96 cobra starts great in warm weather ,let it get 40 or below it will turn over and over,never gets fuel to fire it up,hit it with starting fluid in air flter it fires right up,,what could be the...

There's a shutter valve to restrict air flow either before or after the air filter housing. In cold winter, this valve is closed as you start up the engine. As the engine area warms up, the shutter valve opens up to allow more air to flow into the intake manifold. In close position, the restriction in air flow results in rich fuel mixture. When its open, the fuel mixture is leaner. If it were locked in open position, you crank the cold engine and you get a lean mixture instead of a rich mixture to start up in cold mornings.

1999 Saturn SL1 trouble starting when warm

It was the coolant temperature sensor. It was telling the car that the coolant was always cold, therefore when starting a warm engine it was being flooded. $$$

Hard to start when engine is cold

The thing you need to do is run a leak down test on the fuel pump overnight, hook up a fuel pump test guage to the fuel injector gas rail test port, run the engine, note the fuel pressure when you shut the engine off, it should not drop more than 5 PSI overnight, if it does you need a new fuel pump. Your car doesn't use a cold start valve, that was used on very early Bosch K-Jetronic fuel injection systems, they where last used in the 80's
