    Car doesn't start when hot
    Hey all,

    This post is about my car. It's a 1971 chevelle malibu 350 v-8 4bbl. The car will start up fine when its cold. But after its hot it won't start. I was at a gas station filling her up, went to start it and it only cranked, I then waited about 30 minutes then tried again. It struggled then finally started up. I'm thinking the coolant is low but I haven't checked it yet. The oil is fine, the transmission seal was done poorly and I'm going to try to do that this weekend. I just bled the brakes on Sunday, and drove it Sunday, Monday, and today. Today was the first time it didn't start after stopping at a store. Thanks have a good day.

    I think its flooding cause usually when you start it when its cold it will barly run and stuble but when its hot it should fire up first try so see if you and change the fuel mixture more lean and when you go to start it try putting your foot to the floor don't pump just l leave the throttle open that will also determine if its running ritch this happened to my Camaro
