starting problems

I let my 7 sit overnite and start it up the next day and it will start up fine but after driving it for good 1/2 hour when i turn it off and try to turn it back on it won't start up i try to crank it but it wont start i have to play with it i pump it one time and crank it i have to do that over and over till it starts.
Have you guys had this problem?

i just recently had a problem where my car was doing the exact same thing. if i let it cool off completely it would start up just fine. it was my starter solenoid. it had gotten fried a bit when my car was leaking a little coolant and it had run down on the the solenoid/starter. swapped the hoses and threw a whole new starter/solenoid in it and havent had a problem since

don't pump the gas pedal when you are trying to start a fuel injected car! Hot start problem could mean low compression, get a compressioon test done ASAP just to put your mind to rest at least. Is it flooded? Check the FAQ's about how to de-flood your car.
