A 1999 Saturn SL2 that only starts after sitting for a while could be experiencing issues related to fuel delivery or the ignition system. If the fuel pump is weak or clogged, it may take time for fuel to reach the engine after sitting. Additionally, the starter may be overheating or developing a poor connection, causing it to fail temporarily until it cools down. Finally, a weak battery or poor electrical connections could also contribute to this intermittent starting issue.
Take the battery to an auto parts store and have it load tested. If it checks ok, then clean and take a close look at all connections. If it still will not start, suspect the starter or starter relay. cheaper yet, give the starter a solid whack a couple times and then try and start it, sometimes they "set up" after sitting awhile.
"hot start" issue. Could be the solenoid, or starter itself.
THE STARTER IS GOING BAD
maybe ignitoin or ignition switch
to find starter...start at positive post on battery, follow big cable to end of cable........at which pointwill connect to starter
if it will run for awhile then die, and start back up after sitting awhile , it's probably a cloged fuel filter.
It depends, you could try starter fluid.
Either your starter or ignition..
When mine was doing that, it was the ignition module. Does it start back up after sitting for awhile?
I'd say your starter motor was on its way out, and its now time to get a new one.
The starter solenoid is attached to and an integral part of the starter.
The starter is probably at fault. Hit it with a hammer real good and if it starts it is the starter for sure. That won''t work but a few times.
