Crank Problem?
#22
I'm pretty sure he's so frustrated right now that if he said how he truly felt about what has happened, it would be full of expletives, sw2cam. I don't think it's directed at anyone or information he's gotten here on the forum.

No these people up here are like my saturn fam! Love them all lol. I just didnt want to get kicked from the forum for saying all the terrible things that were trying to slip out of my mouth! Dirty Non family oriented words. My bad!

Well, we're all only human, Danny. I doubt that you're the only one that's felt that way. I let several fly while replacing the valve body on mine. And I did leave skin and hair on the radiator support. I can take a pic if you want to see it, because it's still there! LOL

Update: may help solve??
Now that the starter/starter solenoid have been replaced the randomness of my car not starting seems to have stopped. I can pin-point now when it will happen 99% of the time.
All electrical check out good.
New battery
as stated new starter/solenoid
new ignition system and keys
cold starts cranks always
immediate cranks after shutting down the engine cranks always
warm cranks after sitting 15min -2hrs will not start right away
(and again this is a cranking no start problem) just to remind everyone
Hopefully this narrows it down for some help...
Thanks again!

Was that supposed to be:
immediate cranks after shutting down the engine STARTS always?
Assuming so, try this. On a convenient day after driving for awhile and stopping at your house, go out after one hour or so, crank the engine for a few seconds and then if it doesn't start, stop cranking. Then remove your spark plugs (be sure to blow the grit and dirt from around them before removing them) and see if any are wet with gas.
If one is wet with gas, then you have a leaking fuel injector at that cylinder.
If you find yourself in a situation where the engine has been off for the 15 min to 2 hours and you absolutely need it to start, get in, put the accelerator pedal to the floor and hold it there for 30 seconds. Then with your foot still on the floor, stick the key in and crank. Be ready because if it starts, and I think it will, it will rev up quickly.
