Well.....its back!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took a couple days off for the long weekend and the gremlin is back. Before getting home, I actually had my mechanic take the car out a couple times this week to see if it would replicate, and it didn't! Just when I am in the car I guess.
First Time: I had the car out for maybe 1 hour, and stopped to wash it. It was sitting in the shade for 2 hours while I cleaned it. Got in, and it wouldn't start! All I did was get out and mess with the cables a bit (no tools with me to diagnose anything at that time). And it Started! Wierd!
Last night: I spent the day at Lime Rock park, about 2 hours away. The car was parked there all afternoon in the sun, but it started no problem when I went to leave. Drove the two hours home and parked it here for dinner. About 3 hours later, went back out to go for a spin...wouldn't start!
I put the battery charger on it for about 30 minutes, checked all the cable connections. This time none of that worked. I am at my moms and have no tools here. I have yet to go out this morning to check. I give it 50/50 it starts right now. If it doesn't, I will run to store to get a voltage meter and start some testing. But it is back!
I think we can say its not heat related, and its not a bad ground. The ground was taken care of a couple weeks ago when we redid all the connections.
So...more thoughts?
It was also my Birthday yesterday! It should not do that on my bday! haha.
Thanks
