My question is this. Is there any way to make it start when this happens other than waiting around for 1/2 an hour. I just cant resist the urge to keep twisting the key even though it is useless.

I am overseas so I will have difficulty replacing any major parts for american made cars that require special tools. So I need tempory "Make it go" solution for the next 8 Month's.

Any suggestios would be appreciated.
Try spraying water on the sensor to cool it down. It should start right up if this is your problem.
