[W126 Coupe] Returning to the Group

[Rob Dent]

Hello all...
   
  After a 15 month deployment with the Army to Egypt, I am returning home and have signed back up with this group.  It's great to once again see all the technical know-how this group has, (and I will be tapping into that in a minute), and look forward to learning the ins and outs of W126 ownership.  I have an 88 560SEC that I bought back in April of 2005.  I believe I am the 4th owner and the car has stayed in the Dallas/Ft Worth area until I purchased it and relocated it to Longview, (East Texas, about 60 miles west of Shreveport, LA).  In my opinion, the SEC series has to be one of the best looking cars ever built....although I may be a little partial.

  Now to tap into everyone's knowledge.  My car seems to have an attitude.  There are times when it just doesn't want to start.  Not so much out of the blue, but if I take a short drive, kill the car and get out and come back in 5 or 10 minutes and try to crank it up again, it just won't start.  Sounds like it wants to at first, but never quite fires up.  Once this happens, I usually leave it where it is and come back in 4 or 5 hours and the car will fire right up.  
   
  So my question is what could be causing this?  Is heat playing a role in it?  Or is there something obvious that I am not thinking about.  Any ideas as to how to track it down and repair it would be appreciated!
