So Sunday a week ago the thing died in Von's parking lot. No problem. I Called AAA and 21 min's later they show up. Fuel pump took a crap and luckily I have a pressure gage in the old clock hole so it was an easy diagnosis. But it started right up that nite after cooling a bit. Installed a new pump Friday. Today, I pull pull into CVS after a 150mi round trip, pick up a prescription, go to start and nutin. The pump ran and everything lit up inside but I never heard the solonoid click either. So, AAA to the rescue again. Man those guys are fast. So guess what? After sitting for 2 hours it cranks right up. I'm thinking it's old (like me) and just needs to stop and rest once in awhile. Or a Gremlin. I'm hoping it's the solonoid. I have a spare starter/solonoid assm that I'll use in place of it, Thoughts?????
I hate getting frogged.

Better toad than toed. Unless you are a chicken.
No solenoid click randomly... Cracked ignition switch. Maybe corroded connections at the battery terminals, the seatbelt relay crap under the passenger seat, or the ground strap between trunk floor and tranny.
gremlins??? I knew some one that had one, was a Levis edition, factory blue jean seats door panels and dash, with a Levis tag decal on the body. cool car
AAA may have a good tow service contract , but there insurance just plain sucks they dont pay out, they hate to pay out they are one of the worst pay out insurance companys around , get hit by an AAA insured driver and you better get a attorney, they fight for the last penny and are unethical as can be,
This happened to one of my cars recently.
Mine would still push start, but no click when you turned the key. And it was completely random when it happened.
Troubleshot EVERYTHING and it ended up being a bad ignition switch.
Always check the easy stuff first.
Oh, and wear gloves so that you don't get warts from the Toad
Yes, mine was doing the same thing.
At first I thought it was the "hot start" problem with the solenoid or starter, but after replacing both it continued to happen. The wiring and connections were good and after replacing the switch (with a new OEM) it hasn't happened since.
