streaky Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I was sitting in line waiting to go through the local MOT test. It was Effin' hot out side, the V8 was running nicely, temp guage was normal, air -con running at #2. I turned off the ignition key for two minutes....and then the problem started. I tried to start again...ignition lights came on....turn key....no start or click from solenoid. Battery level is fine...but I tried to jump start with a power pack thing anyway. Same symptoms.....nothing. I tried to bump start......that wouldn't work. Left the car for ten-15 minutes....it started fine as if nothing had happened. Could it be the starter or the solenoid or possibly a relay? Perhaps sitting in a really hot line for an hour with the engine running has nearly cooked something in the starter/relay/solenoid chain? Ideas. I'm thinking solenoid. Thx, S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fern Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 That might be a stupid question, but anyways, what's up with your alarm system? Maybe it's just passively immobilized? And it's also looks like a spider problem, go to TechArchive for BogMonster's article about the spider unit soldering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 I'd look at the spider, sounds exactly like what my one did for several F months before I found it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
