I have a really strange problem with my car. If I go any distance (say 15 to 20 miles) and kill the car, I have to let it sit and cool off for at least an hour or so before the motor will even attempt to turn over again.
When you turn the key on, you can hear the fuel pump, but when you turn it...nothing. It will push start. After sufficient cooling time, it turns over fine and I'm gone. It's not an engine problem and I don't want to think it is a starter problem, but it's driving me nuts. Any suggestions? |

Yea, Brad is going to take a look at it tomorrow...he said I have a hot start "wire" that he took off a while back because he didn't think I needed it...looks like I do now. But he said he would check it out to see if the starter is crapping out on me.
Oh, and after new tires, the front end of my car is STILL vibrating...damnit! Either the damn wheel weights won't stay on or my rims are crap. Brad's checking that out for me too...but I found some on San Jose for $1200 for 7s and 8s newly restored...cool, I'll buy those for streeters and keep my crappy rims for AX...
