Question: Suzuki Vitara Hard Start

Hi Vince, I posed this question to you a while back but didn't get a response; I assumed you're pretty busy these days setting up.

The question involves my wife's 2001 Suzuki Vitara 2 door which has developed a starting problem. It started out as an occasion intermittent problem, but now has developed solid. When the car is cold, it starts and runs fine. You can run all day if you like. But if you let the car sit and idle for a time it will stall, or if you shut it off, in either case the car won't start. Let it sit for about 20 minutes it starts up fine.

I've taken it to the dealer and I think he has turned out to be a parts changer. He told my wife that the catalytic converter was bad. He said it was cherry red and a wonder that the car didn't catch fire. I tried finding the problem with the vehicle myself and never was there an odor or any indications of excessive heat that I noticed. There was no ECM diagnostic either.
