Just went out to start my car to go the store and it won't turn over. The pump turns on but I got nothing. I just got back from lunch a while ago so I know it's a little hot. Will the motor turn over if you have vapor lock, or is it the ignition switch I just replaced earlier this year? it is frustrating to say the least!

Given the cars are 35 or 40 years old, is it a good idea to just replace the starter at the sign of any start problems? Like it's gonna go bad soon anyway?
My car developed a mysterious problem starting last year. Sometimes hot, sometimes cold, turn the key and...nothing! The ignition switch had been replaced when I bought it 3 yrs ago. The new switch was defective and I had to replace it right away (with another aftermarket switch). So I'm wondering, how often can an ignition switch go bad? Also, anybody have a photo of jumping the wires with a screwdriver? As in, where EXACTLY does the screwdriver go? Thanks, Paul |
