Help needed with starting problems. 1998 Ford Taurus SE. After driving the car for more than one hour the car will not re-start. I will turn the ignition key and nothing happen, all of the auxiliary electrical equipment will work. After the car cools for an hour it will start and run fine as if nothing was wrong. The battery is newer, and, I‘ve attempted to “play” with the relays. Do you have any ideas?

Check the wire harness to the starter solenoid, the wires could have a break in it or the solenoid could also be bad. The heat of the engine could be causing the solenoid to fail till it cools down. Try that first, good luck and keep me posted, be glad to help.

A bit of info is needed. To be clear, when you say nothing happens, do you mean that the starter motor does not spin the engine? Do you even hear a clicking noise from the starter relay? Does the engine turn over, but not start? Does the car have an aftermarket anti-theft system in it?
