hi i have a 2001 s-series two door i am stump what happens is it starts fine then after a while running it wont start it will bump start fine then when it cools it starts fine with the starter checked all conection cleaned battery all ok please help thank you

 

describe symptoms when it won't start (after running for a while). Does it crank but not start? Does it not crank?

Does it have spark when it won't start (Assuming it's cranking)?

 

sorry about that what it does when i turn it over is nothing no starter noise nothing i do here the fuel pump but thats it drove it tonight had to push start it three times

 

While it's slightly expensive and time consuming, it sounds like the starter is bad.

My opinion only ............

 

thank you i will check it out

 

ok just got back from a shop that did a digital check battery good nothing showed up on the computer check they checked the power when i tryed to start it they sad no power getting to the starter please help

 

Do they mean the starter as a whole (solenoid and starter) or starter itself. If its the first then there might be something in between such as bad wiring or maybe a relay. If its the latter your solenoid is most likely gone and you need a whole new starter all together.


I had the same problem recently where I would drive it abit and then it wouldnt start afterwards, After I replaced my battery (which was bad to the point it was leaking) and it wouldnt do it for a few weeks, then it started doing it again worse than before. Only I didnt have the ability to bump start. It was the starter though.

 

thank you i will pull starter and check will let you know i wonder if it could be the ignition module?

 

well i pulled the starter had it checked starter is fine back to the drawing board please help

 

Well, since you got the starter off the car right now, throw it in an oven, and raise the temperature to about two hundred, then test it again. Heat appears to be the catalyst for your problem. (Maybe they got an oven at the place that tested your starter for you) ....
