heat soak and no crank
Hey guys I recently found out I have some heat soak issues. Whenever I turn it off after driving a while she wont crank up, even with starting fluid. Usually if she sits for a few days she'll crank right up. Anyone know how to get her cranked? I have fuel and spark. Any input welcome

Well I have enough fuel pressure but auto zone was the one who said I have spark. Any easy ways to test for a spark?

Always post the year/engine as there are significant differences along the way.
Question for you. Does the engine ever STALL or DIE while you are driving it? Or is it just that it won't start AFTER you turn the engine off? Knowing the answer to this question can help isolate the problem.
If it never dies while driving but just won't start after turning it off, the camshaft position sensor is suspect. If the cam sensor is lost while the engine is running, it continues to use the old cam sensor values and the engine runs fine. But when the engine is turned off, it won't restart.
