your thermostat is gone, is cheapo and easy to fix.
soundes like your started may be going out or you have a fuel vapor lock problem.
This is probably due to the fact that you are out of gasoline, cars can't start without it. :(
if u r freezing it can help you get warm where you wont get hypothermia.
check the engine temperature sensor. the trans won't go into overdrive until the engine is warm.
check coolant temp sensor
next time it won't restart, try disconnecting temp sensor
Right off it sounds like a component gets too warm and fails, but works cold. Is the engine getting fuel when warm? Does it have spark when warm? Knowing the answers to those questions as well as make, model, year and engine size would help to answer your question. I had a similar problem with a 1987 Chevy Celebrity. I replaced the ignition module and the crankshaft sensor and it runs fine now.
the seals in the transmission are shrunk but will expand when the oil gets warm so it will then shift
take the crank sensor out and clean the mounting surface on the block, reinstall see if that help's
Your car has to achieve operating temperature before it functions as it should. Your heads which contain your valves are cold and don't move as easily as they do warm. This is why your thermostat doesn't open up until it reaches either 185 or 192 degrees. If you have a cold-blooded engine, you have to wait for it to warm up. You can quicken the process by revving the engine slightly. If your car is not cold-blooded, the best way to warm it up is by driving it. If your'e engine is taking a long time to warm up, your thermostat may stuck open, causing the antifreeze to cool the engine before it is even warm. Hope this helps
