Without more input I'll give you two scenarios 1 the starter is showing signs of weakness and hen it gets hot it does not have the strength to spin the motor as it should. 2. The ignition timing needs adjusted, it may be advanced a bit and need retarding, especially with the low grades of fuel we are getting these days , you might try a higher grade of fuel or possibly an octane booster which you add when re-fueling.
Hope this is useful. Let me know please. gl...dc

generally use mercon VI or dexron III atf

Try to check ignition swich, some times gets stuck and it wont litup.

You simply add the brake fluid to its proper recommended position. This position is usually marked on the reservior.

Subframes are known to have a weak area around the rear part of the wishbones' fixings. They split in high milage cars and this can cause the car to feel 'wishy-washy'. It can aslo be seen in the condition of the tyres (uneven ware) and the wheel leans at the top. This is a relatively easy fix, but when I did mine I used an aditional 3mm steel plate to bridge the top of the weak areas. Well worth doing.

The window motors become very slow and tired on older models, they just need to have the brushes changed.

The steering can feel very vague (more than usual for these cars) This is usualy fixed by getting under the car and adjusting the steering box.

BUT MOST CRITICALLY, THE BRAKES! Not cheap!, the brakes and suspension ar part of the same system. They should feel light on the foot but sharp on the bite. If not, the hydrauliv accumulators need re-gassing or replacing, the flexi pipes are prone to collapse, AND THE CORRECT FUIDS MUST BE USED (Castrol RR363), if in boubt, have it checked!

Panhard bushes on the front subframe can corrode and 'fall out' leaving nothing. And the rear subframe bushes are also known to squash and lose their shape.

remove air ducts, put some fuel drops in intake trhottle , and try to start engine , maybe have fuel pump is worn

hi, first thing we need to do is DISCONNECT the BATTERY (NEGATIVE (- sign)) HEAVY LEAD.

the SOLINOID has a HEAVY POSITIVE (+) LEAD this is a BOLT on connection and also (normamlly smaller cable (this cable feeds the car POSITIVE (+)) BOTH BOLT on THE SAME terminal ( ring terminals).

the STARTER MOTOR CONNECTS to the other BOLT ON CONNECTION (SINGLE ring terminal) of the SOLINOID.

the other small wire (s) is the (ignition key position starter motor circuit, the colour RED/WHITE or BLUE/WHITE. this is normally a PUSH-ON connector. if you have a BLACK or BROWN WIRE then this is EARTH (GROUND (-))

testing if this do'nt work. check if BOLT-ON CONNECTIONS are TIGHT by HAND.

the solinoid is a remote HEAVY CONTACT SWITCH and has 2 circuits SWITCHES HEAVY CURRENT up to 700 AMPS. and the CONTOL of the KEY to operate from a small wire. gerry

Could be alot of things.

If it is newer than the late 70's it is.

If you have a trusted body shop, they would be the best to help you remove it without damage, charge should be minimal, watch them work for future reference.

The oil level may be normal, but the light coming on means there's an issue. There's probably an issue with the pressure and it's detected a leak somewhere

Can be caused by wear in ball joints, poor wheel balance, damaged or buckled wheel rim, leaking steering damper if fitted. But the chances are if you can drive through the shudder and then experience it again at a higher speed, it would usually be down to poor wheel balance or distorted tyre.
