So im trying to figure out why my sedan has this starting problem,it usually starts up in the morning and stuff. But sometimes ill be driving around and shut it off for like 5-10 minutes and get back in and it dosent fire up again, ill wait 2 minutes and try again and it fires up most of the time. Ive had to push start it a few times and that worked but sometimes no. Somebody suggested when its hot the plugs are so hot it dosent fire or somthing i dont know, and its usually hot when it dose this. And this has happend before when it wouldnt start and i actually get someone to jump me and the first time it took forever to jump me and this morning me and a friend tried jumping it and it just cranked and cranked, no fire. Im hoping its just the battery but it could be something else...

Is there anyway you can try a different distributor? Iv seen so many times where the car wouldnt start because the ignitier gets hot and won't run because it's so hot and kinda frying the board.

JAYB90

haha looks like i need another one right?

^are you being sarcastic because its clean?^
maybe i just missed it...
pull the plugs and see if that's it? if you haven't.
check to make sure alternator is working correctly?
maybe you have a bad battery?
good luck

JAYB90

no i wasent being sarcastic, it has a hole in it where a rubber plug should be.

skipbudlong

have you tried covering that hole?

You need to pull your main relay out and re solder all the points.

JAYB90

no i havent, i was going to go up to the dealership and get the gasket.
so all the solder melted from their points is what your saying?

skipbudlong

Cover the hole. That will fix all your problems.

x2... that's what usually is associated with a random crank/no start. Good to replace because eventually it will go bad when you least expect it.

JAYB90

alright ill do that, thanks

xtrmcrx

if covering the hole hasn't fixed your problem take your distributor apart and pull the little chip in it and go to the junk yard and get another one it might just be that little chip....good luck bro

JAYB90

thanks, im pretty sure thats the problem, ill get to it and let yall know what happends.
