Default Bad fuel pump??

Here is my issue.... My car would start fine in the mornings or on cooler weather it seems. I have trouble starting my car when it gets hot out or if the car has been sitting in the sun for awhile. Any idea what is causing my car not to start on hot days? It will turn over but seems like its not getting fuel... Thanks in advance.

Ignition starter switch $60, pretty soon it'll quit completely. I just replaced mine Monday, I thought it was a fuel issue too.

Main relay is a much better fit with your symptoms. And resoldering is inexpensive and relatively easy.

i agree with ron, dont waste your money on an ignition switch when the symptoms are a perfect match for main relay.
