Question
my truck wont start when hot,it will crank good but no start.When temp gauge get's to almost cool it will start every time.

Answer
Possible cause,faulty throttle position sensor or air flow meter.Did your have a check engine light come on?Other cause could be a vacuum leak or leak at the intake manifold.You can test for vacuum leaks and intake leaks.Also do a compression test and fuel pressure.
