2002 kia rio sedan warm startup issues.

i have a 2002 kia rio that wont start up after its been running either for a few mins or for hours. it requires the person to wait 30-35 mins to start. dealer has replaced battery( several times), spark plugs and wires, pcv, fuel filter, . also tested starting and charging system and said there is nothing wrong. i have taken it to several kia dealers on multiple occasions. recently i have gotten them to reproduce the problem but they still have no resolution. and what could be wrong. it sounds like a dead battery, but why would i hav to replace the battery every few weeks? anybody else having hard starting warm issues or similar issues?

standing by waiting for your comments or suggestions,

Poor connection at starter?

What's the issue? Does it crank and not start? Does it crank slowly? Does it not crank at all?

The list of repairs in the original post appear to address more than one concern.

issue has been resolved. starter was drawing too much current from the battery. causing it to die. starter has been replaced and all is well.

thank you to the group for your responses.
