Hi everyone
I have a mysterius problem with my van.
I changed batery, started, distributor, rotor and alternator but anytime my van won't start....i wait 1 hour, maybe 2 hours and then it star normally....the electricien can't find the problem...anyone can helpme please..!
Thanks in advance

By car won't start, does the engine turn over, is there just a clicking noise when you turn the key, or nothing happens when you turn the key?
Is engine size 3.0 or 3.3, or 2.5 liter? The problem sounds intermittant. Based on a better description, it sounds like it could be with the starter or an ignition sensor.

HI thanks for your answer..
Look nothing happens, no sound but i have energy because i can turnoff the radio, the ligths etc.. but no sound, no click...and after maybe 2 hours, i can star without problem...yesterday i changed the start's relay..and i'll wait...
You talk to the ignition sensor where could i find it?
Thanks you again.

Hmmm???? Try wiggling the key after putting it in the ignition barrel. Problem could be in the ignition switch.

Or the neutral start switch.

Hi Hirez

Look, when it happened i try to start in neutral position and in parking position...but no start...the specialist say me 'when the problem come again he could find it', but only when the van doesn't start..so i'll pray for that the problem stay until the specialist comes...it's crazy.

If i find the solution i'll say you
Thank you very much.
