Ok... I love my car... right now... it just needs to start... Now here is the issue... When it is cold it starts just fine... HOWEVER... when its warm... Nothing... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/unsure.gif

I have just replaced the battery, and alternator. I am completely confused... Is it the starter or is it possibly something else? Help a bro out here please...

Update... switched out the fuel filter and... still nothing. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683454.gif

Please clarify: When the engine is warm, does the starter turn the engine over?



If the starter is not turning the engine over, then I think you probably have a starter issue.



If the starter IS turning the engine over, and it's just not firing, then you most likely have a leaky injector/engine flooding issue.

Ok. I allow the engine to reach operating temp and proper idle. I turn off the engine. No flooding... When I try to turn over the engine all I hear is a click. Starter? (Please say starter, Please say starter...)

probably starter.



warm it up, hit it with a hammer and try to start it?



if it does its the starter.



i got around for a few weeks in my beater doing that trick till it finally died completely.

Starter.





There. Ya happy? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.gif





Seriously, sounds like the starter. I assume you've already checked for good, tight connections?

starter.



and if you replace that and still have the problem... ignition switch.
