Won't start ocaisionally. waiting 20 minutes and it will.

It won't start after driving 25 miles or so. sometimes won't first thing in morning. had a rebuilt started put in and that did it for about a year. when it does start i hear a clicking sound under the dash in center counsol, like maybe a relay. sometimes just pulling the fuse and putting it back in takes care of it, but not always

SOURCE: 1998 problem starting?

The relay is probably bolted in, and will have to be removed by unbolting it after removal of the fuse box. It could be the relay, although I doubt it. More likely other components beginning to fail such as the starter switch, the neutral safety switch, the contacts in the starter solenoid, or the battery itself.

SOURCE: intermittent starting problem on 99 Camry

You need to have the starter removed and have the starter contacts replaced. They are burnt. This is a common problem.

SOURCE: 1999 toyota tacoma Sr5 won't start

Check for fuel pressure when starting. Fuel pumps have a check valve in them that keep fuel in the rail at the injectors. If the check valve fails, the pump has to pump fuel all of the way up to the engine. Same thing with hot no-restarts. Fuel pump.

SOURCE: 2003 Corolla won't start after checking fuses

Well something that a lot of people dont realize is that you cant check a fuse just by looking at it everytime. Sometimes you can look at it and clearly see the metal conductor inside is split. A lot of times the split on the metal conductor can be really small or it can be split under the plastic of the fuse, then you wont be able to see it. What you need to do is by a test light to test fuses. Leave them plugges into the car. hook the test light up to any ground. Start the car. Then touch the tip of the test light to each of the two exposed peices of metal at the top end of the fuse. Now if you touch one metal side of the fuse and the test light lights up then you touch the other side of it and the test light doesnt light up, then you have a bad fuse. If you touch both sides and the test light lights up on both then the fuse is good.

As far as the car not started, when your husband was pulling fuses randomly he probably popped the ignition fuse on the car, which gives the car the 12V of power so that it can start. What you do is check you owners manual or the back side of the fuse panel for the fuse layout/diagram. Find the fuse that says IGN and no need to test it if you dont want just replace it with a fuse of the same wattage and try to start the car. It should start right up. If it does look under your hood. There is another fuse box on the drivers side under your hook. Repeat the same steps I just told you for the other fuses. Find the one that says IGN and test it, if its bad replace it.

Truck works fine in R, 1, and 2 nothing in 3 or D. 2006 Silverado V-6 automatic 1/2 ton

Hey Anon, Yes, drive it to the tranny shop..plan to leave it... sounds like you are in for a rebuild.. this is typical for GM RWD transmissions.. I have seen TOO many do this same thing,, (I have had TWO in for this... vehicles I inherited that were not maintained)..GM transmissions on RWD's must have the fluid and filter changed every 50K - 75K and a complete fluid exchange and filter replacement every 120K -150K MINIMUM for them to last..usually cost around $1200 - $1400.. sorry.. Good luck!

Not Ready for Smog test

it is not how many miles but the type of driving.

here is a OBD2 drive cycle test.

Generic OBD II "Drive Cycle" Most OBD II ("On-Board Diagnostics II") diagnostic monitors will run at some time during normal operation of the vehicle.
However, to satisy all of the different Trip enable criteria and run all of the OBD II diagnostic monitors, the vehicle must be driven under a variety of conditions. The following drive cycle will (theoretically) allow all monitors to run on (??) vehicle. (Note: Drive cycle specifics vary by vehicle!)
  1. Ensure that the fuel tank is between 1/4 and 3/4 full.
  2. Start cold (below 86°F /30°C) and warm up until engine coolant temperature is at least 160° F (typically requires at least one minute; up to 3 minutes).
  3. Accelerate to 40-55 MPH at 25% throttle and maintain speed for five minutes.
  4. Decelerate without using the brake (coast down) to 20 MPH or less, then stop the vehicle. Allow the engine to idle for 10 seconds, turn the key off, and wait one minute.
  5. Restart and accelerate to 40-55 MPH at 25% throttle and maintain speed for two minutes.
  6. Decelerate with using the brake [or the clutch!] by coasting down to 20 MPH or less, then stop the vehicle. Allow the engine to idle for 10 seconds, turn the key off, and wait one minute.

I have a 1990bmw 325i. i turned the car off one day. ran in the store. ten minutes later came out and the car wouldnt start. left the car. came back thirty minutes later the car started. drove the car 25...

Car not starting or turning over indicates towards multiple possibilities. It can be issue with battery or weak battery. But if battery checks out ok, then it can be starter issue or faulty alternator or problem with low fuel pressure or no spark at spark plugs due to dirty spark plugs or faulty ignition coil or injectors getting cracked or dirty and needs to be cleaned.


To confirm the problem, the basic troubleshooting is required.

Cuts off in warm weather after about 10 miles

Don't rule out fuel pump. Had a 95 do the same, ran great when cool in morning then when it got hot in afternoon, it would quit. Wait 15-20 minutes & go again, sometimes got me home, other times a few more miles until it cooled down again. Luckily I had access to a fuel pressure gauge. Cool in morning had 49 psi, when it quit, 2 psi. Wait 20 minutes, 49 psi again. If you can drive it around until it starts to act up then run into a repair shop for fuel pressure test it will confirm it. If not, they may need it all day to monitor the fuel pressure & confirm it is pump. If your a gambler, change it & fuel filter. One thing I did get was trouble codes indicating a lean mixture, due to starving for fuel. Have you cycled your key to retrieve any codes yet?
