    random not starting

    hi guys

    my car got this anoyying thing going on at the moment , i mean it starts first pop everytime ..just after driving sometimes i go to turn it back on and it doesnt start .. sometimes it does though :S

    ive replaced the starter motor etc

    its really annoying it just does it when it wants to.

    maybe faulty immobilizer? or battery?

    has this happened to any one else

    cheers

    so after its warm does it crank or no?

    you're leaving a lot of details out of the story...what exactly happens, after posting some more information about the problem... I'm sure someone with more knowledge then me(it will be a lot) will give a few pointers and things to try

        My car does this sometimes, starts after 3 cranks everytime... then I can crank it 6 times 3 times in a row and nothing.

        My solution, just put my foot half way on the floor and crank it... it works

          she starts first pop everytime though just after driving for about 30 mins , i switch it off and nothing ? dash lights all on working etc

          last time i swtiched it off and it didnt start it took about 20- 30 minutes to start again

          maybe my second hand start motor was faulty?
