Unfortunately if the problem is intermittent there isn't much they can do for you. It is going to upset you but don't take it out on them. You will need to keep bring it to them until the problem becomes constant and then they will be able to identify the problem. The only way is to start replacing parts and hope it fixes the unknown problem. If they can not find an issue then it is possible that it is bad wiring or a bad ground. Maybe take notes, the more info you can give the better your chances to find a solution. See if it happens when its hot, cold, wet out side, on cold starts, after you've driven it a while. Good luck.

I have a 03 cadillac cts the other day after work i go get in the car try and start it up the radio part reads anti theft / service theft sytem and does not start and also said remove key... what the

The vehicle is having problems reading the tiny metal security slug in the ignition key. When you used a key to unlock the door, you disabled the security system so it started. There are a variety of different resistance values on the slugs in the key. You can have someone with a ohm meter read the resistance of yours and install a fixed resistor of the same identical value to the wiring for the key security system. You may alternatively spray contact cleaner or a bit of WD-40 in the ignition switch to clean it off. Insert and remove the key several times, wiping it off each time you remove it.

We have a 2000 Saturn SL1 we started it yesterday and it died went to start it again and it wouldn't start it he security light came on the file gage won't move but it has a full tank of gas

Many times the lock cylinder fails to detect the key and so it shuts the car off. Other times the master relay goes bad which happens on older Hondas and it can cause the same problem. I would locate the master relay, tap it with a wrench and see if it starts. If so its the relay and relatively cheap to replace. If its the lock cylider then its much more costly. If the key liggt blinks normal when you start the car but then it dies out randomly or wont start, then its the lock cylinder failing to read the security key. Also remove any thing attached to the key that may be heavy.

I have a 2004 3.9L Mustang with the "check engine soon" light on. I read the codes and 0300, 0301, 0305 and 0316 were up, while the car was still driving fine. Soon, it started to lose strenght, I bar

Best to read the codes first---code p0300 refers to random multiple cyl-- misfire detected causes-- spark plugs---HT leads--ignition coils--wiring.
code p0301 refers tocylinder 1-- misfire detected causes ---engine mechanical fault---wiring---ignition /fuel system ---injector---ECT/Maf sensor(Mass air flow) ECM.
code p0305 refers to cylinder 5 misfire detected causes ---same as 0301
code p0316 refers to misfire detected during start up -first 1000 rpms---causes--- engine mechanical fault---wiring----ignition/fuel system---injector. I would run a fuel system pressure pressure test as the common causes here is the fuel/injectors

Clicking starter=car not starting

Regardless of the battery age,sounds to me as if you have a drain on the electrical system First thing to do is completely recharge battery. An initial quick inspection might show a light staying on, whether it be a door , reading, glove box, or trunk lights, among many other things. If nothing is obvious an electical reading of the system while removing and reinstalling fuses will show the circuit causing the drain, Hope this helps
