On the way back from the wcc after 5 straight hours on the 5 I stopped for a late dinner in Gilroy, when I came back out the biach wouldn't start, plenty of juice but no crank. I got it push started with some local help. When I got home I restarted twice so I thought...hot start problem....but no.....when I tried to start it yesterday am it was the same as in Gilroy, juice but no crank. Sooooo, where do I start to look, the starter, loose wires, which wires? I guess the car just found out I'm gonna get the body and paint done and couldn't stand ti anymore.....three years down the drain....spoiled a perfect record. Help! Thanks, Jim

Jim,
This same thing happened to me over the weekend. I drove to a picnic. About 5 hours later I go to start and nothing. Fuel pump is pumping, etc but it won't turn over. Had to get a push start. I had the same problem a couple of months back that 'corrected itself' for at least a couple dozen starts. I guess I'll give the screwdriver trick a try tonight. It now seems like an intermittant problem, and definitely not a hot-start issue so I'm thinking some bad connection somewhere.. ? |
