My 03 v6 started acting up yesterday. After driving for a while you turn it off, and after 10/15 min it does not want to star, it turns and turns until it catches and it starts.
My battery is kind of old but, but it starts when cold.

Thank you all very much,

Jorge

take the battery to get it tested, also test the alternator. If both are ok then you have a couple other areas

you need spark and compression, timing (of spark) my next stop would be spark

Yea, for some reason I thought he said it was clicking the first time I read it... now that I have re-read it, it sounds like a fuel/spark.

Have your fuel pressure checked.
Check your compression in the cylinders.
Make sure your plugs are gapped correctly.
Have the car checked out for correct timing.
Check for correct operation of the distributor.
