It seems when hot my car won't start...I turn the key, all lights on the dash come on but nothing happens engine don't crank nuthin'..When the engine is cold again it starts as if nothing was ever wrong. I replaced my starter and my battery.

So has anyone had this problem? or any ideas as to what causes this.

As I said its never done this from cold only hot.

I figured it out...Did something stupid during my conversion...gotta make sure noone else does that if they convert.

I took the lever off the auto tranny (that tells the tranny to go to P R N D 2 or 1 not the one that goes in the cabin the on e physically on the tranny) and made a neutral switch out of it. This way the computer assumes the car is in Park at all times...gonna rip it apart and cross the apprpriate wires this week sometime. What was happening BTW was the switch would move and the ECU would think the car was in reverse or something like that so the car would'nt start.
