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...

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.

 

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?





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.
