Car won't start after warmed
My car used to not won't start unless I put some starting fluid in it. I checked the fuel pump and it is good, so I replaced the fuel pump relay. After the replacement, the car cranks up fine when it is cooled be If I let it warm up for about 15 min, then turn it off and try to crank it back up, it will not crank. Oh yeah, I also received a code 24, but I don't think this code has nothing to do with it.

Your starter solenoid is probably heat soaking. My car used to do the same thing. Do you have headers? They will only make the problem worse.
I used a remote mounted solenoid and put my battery in the trunk. Problem solved.
