So I've been told several reasons Why Car Won't Start after it's been Running Fine...Usually on the 3rd Attempt to Start after 1st and 2nd Start it Fired UP!!!...I have to wait a Few Minutes 5-10 minutes and it Starts Up Fine Again. I've Been Told Fuel Pump going Out...yet it Runs great and Smooth after it Starts...I've Been Told it's the Distributor Coil getting Too HOT and it interupts Ignition Firing....and I've Been Told it's the Main Relay Fuel Injector!!!....WHICH IS IT??....HELP!!!!

Fuel pump going out and it will not run at all
coil problem will starteasy but fail after running for a while
fuel pump relay again it is running after starting and if the relay is no good , it will not pump fuel
try having the fault codes read first then have the faulty sensor replaced

You have to remove the entire console then the panel the radio is screwed to. Pull the panel forward and unplug the connectors. there will be 2 screws holding the radio to the panel. If automatic put the lever on D or remove the knob on manuals to lift the console out.If you don't use the grenade you will at least have the parts to put it back together.You car doesn't have have that relay.

SOURCE: Runs 5 minutes then dies. Won't start until engine is cold.

Try the WD-40 spray in intake of throttle body with air intake hose off, to see if it will kick at all, even for a second or 2. We need to confirm whether your losing fuel or spark when it dies. Ignition & fuel, can cause similar symptoms in this case.

"2003 Chevy Impala won't start". Car would not

The alternator is not charging,or the battery wont take a charge.If all accessories work fine when its running after you've boosted it,its likely the battery.

My 89 acura legend will not start it makes no noise when i try to start it it doesnt make any sound when i try to start it i checked all my fuses there all fine i pulled out my starter and had it checked...

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

I strongly suggest that you check or replace the positive cable going to the starter. It can be broken inside that's why there's no current going to the starter. I believe you'll be good after.
Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

I have 1992 Acura Legend v6 3.2L. If the outside temperature is 85+ the car won't start but when it is cooler outside it starts. What could be the problem and its solution?

It could be the coolant temperature sensor is reading wrong. You can verify this by having a live data scanner hooked up to see what it is actually reading.

Help!

Well, an old hose can bust for several reasons. Would assume that the temperature change from driving raised pressure enough that a weakened portion finally broke. As for the fans, check fuses and connections, then verify voltage going to the fan. If there is voltage and it is still not working, you have a bad fan.
