This problem started out intermittent, but has become more constant. It occurs when the car has been driven for an hour or more,when youturn the engineoff then need to restart within a few minutes - like when fuling. When the key is turned on, all dash lights look good, dome light good, radio good, etc.. But when you run the key all the way forward to start the engine, there is no sound from the engine at all. After 20 or 30 minutes, the car will crank normally. This is happening usually when you stop for gas, then the car will not crank - we have to push the car to the side and wait for it to cool down. Seems to be heat related of course. The car has been to a Ford Dealership once and wastested - could not recreate the problem. The battery is the only thing that tested bad, so we replaced the battery with a new Ford factory battery which did not help the problem. Any ideas on this? I'd really love to avoid having to replace part after part until the root cause is found..[/align][/align]Thanks for Help![/align]

 

Does this car have a manual or automatic transmission?
