My car sounds like an old man dying when i turn the ignition does ne one have this problem? my car will not turn on with one turn of the key. i find that it is only in hot weather, or when the car is hot. it doesnt do it if it's cold out, or in d morning. i dont know what it is. i know i need to get a new o2 sensor. could that be it?
i changed out the spark plugs last year, and the fuel filter. didnt do the wires could that be it?
lastly i took it to the dealer and those bastards said nothing was wrong with it and every time they cranked it over it turned on fine. i get in my car, turn it off, crank it over and it wont start.
ne ideas what i should change or look into?

Another hint...I had a starter on the car that wouldnt do anything(crank, throw the solenoid out) but it tested good at a local autoparts store. I figured since it had 100,000+ miles on it I would replace it anyway, well the new starter solved the problem. Kinda wierd but my car started after it so it fixed it.

Because it cooled off, I had one do that to me, had me stumped, took it to Rick and Josh at HPE and they figured it out.
