starting woes ??

My car would not start the other night and it sounded like my fuel switch was off. So the car's rotors were turning over and all but maby no fuel or spark i do not know?? The next morning about 8 hours later it started like a champ on the first try. Any ideas?? I got lucky that my boss was still there but dont want it to happen again. Any help very much appreciated.

I had the same problem, many many times. It starts before i go out, and after leaving the car there for couple of hours then, it wont start again.

at first, it only happens once in a while. later on i was afraid to drive my car out, because it happens too often, I can almost predict it.

And now, the car wont start at all. My mechanic told me it could be the spark plugs. Since the car is in my house, so, I changed them on my own. just the top two. (had to order the lower two).

Still wont start. someone please help. Is there any thing special that I should know when replacing spark plugs?

oh, by the way, I had my fuel-injectors flushed too, and didnt help at all. although, car ran better once i can started.

Thanks.

since you guys are desperate, I can only offer educated guesses:
1)ignitors/ coils getting hot and malfunctioning
2)hot start assist system malfunctioning
3)water thermo sensor backshell plug cracked/ contacts seperating when engine warm
4)cold solder joints in the ECU
5)dirty ground for injectors on top of rear housings (under dynamic chamber), little or no contact when engine warm
6)????? hope that helps a little...
