Something is heating up and not working. Could be the coil or crank position sensor.
Does either sensor have any control on the amount of gas being injected. It seems as though gas is not being injected
Crank position sensor controls when the fuel is sprayed
What did you find out on this problem cgi?
Similar issue, insert keyfob and turn and nothing but a click, new starter and battery installed at service station and when I went to get the van same issue, they said maybe the computer board needs update. Dealer said either keyfob battery low or no signal from keyfob to starter. Since new batter in keyfob...range to open and lock severely cut to a few feet away, TPM warning light on, stiil will not start if van has been running for 30 minutes, van engine must cool for 20 minutes before it will start. All other electrical operational. With radio, heater and AC. Off still will not start.

I have the same problem, but I have no answer yet! On a hot day I open the hood and let the engine cool quicker, and it always starts with a cool engine!
