off to SITM!

Best hwy car I've driven. Have a great trip.

On holiday for 3 weeks starting tomorow.We wil be going to Quebec city, the Gaspe and the atlantic provinces. I was going to take the 928 but could notpack al the stuff needed for an extended trip. Taking the trailblazer and towing a trailer. Back in a month.

Hey guys - I made it!

Not without incident but a lot of fun! Car apparently will not start after a long haul like maybe over 20-30 minutes in hot weather. Exhibits the same symptoms as my posted Odd starting problem thread. Turn off car, won't turn on.

Leave it alone for up to 1- 1/2 hours or so and varoommmm No problems, turn it off and it will start right back up.

I think there is some kind of sensor somewhere being affected by temp or is going bad or both. All electrical flows and power to the starter etc. checked out.

Luckily I conked out at a gas station with a very nice mechanic who fixed a nagging little issue, and while he was researching things I guess it cooled down enough to start. Got to the SITM hotel and it wouldnt start again, waited 1hr 45 min, started right up.

So I am going to Beech mountain tomorrow with everyone since that is only a few miles away and see how it goes. Hopefully I will get to speak with someone about it, like Dave Roberts before I leave. Otherwise I will be filling up at the gas station with the Shark running!!

Everyone is having fun, still out in the parking lot at 12:40 as I type. Met a lot of really nice people so far,,,,having a great time.

see-ya

Sorry about the no start problem Mike. But I am glad you are having a good time.

Interesting, has the starter draw been checked, as well as the battery?
Should be plenty of expertise at SITM to help you troubleshoot this

YEA! Glad you are having fun, sorry the car is being cantankerous. These old ladies can get that way. Just like my old lady! LOL! Have you replaced the ignition switch...strange things happen when they start to go out and while I have not heard of the one you are talking about, it is pretty easy and cheap insurance... That said, it sounds more like a relay going bad... it would be more expensive but easier (and also good insurance) to just go in and replace every damn relay! My window switch relay on EURO85 demonstrated that same problem... replaced it and all is now GREAT!
