Why would the engine of a Town and Country not always start when you turn the key?

== == Possibly a worn out ignition lock switch, that has sloppy contacts, which don't always make the electrical connection , when you turn the key. Possibly a bad starter check to see if you have power going to it when it is turned to the start position check with a test lite if it lites up you have a bad starter. Try pounding on the top of the dash once or twice right in the middle of and behind the steering wheel. I'm serious, try it. The third answer may sound trite but he is correct. After 6 months of being stranded,spending money on electrical test, changed out relays etc I had had enough. I took it to an "old" mechanic and told him to keep it until fixed. Before I could call someone to pick me up it was running again. The problem is an instrument cluster connection. If the vehicle is running when it disconnects you loose rpm,spedo, instrument lights and gas gage. The motor will run until you shut it off. Given the cost of this repair and the age of my vehicle I chose not to repair. I've punched this baby out dozens of times in the last 18 months and it works every time!

Why would a 1991 Toyota Celica not start when engine is hot Battery is good but no sound when key turned in ignition.?
Battery is probly good. If it was bad there would usually be a series of clicks while trying to start. If the engine is is too hot then the computer is not gonna let the vehicle start. If it is not over heating then the coolant temp sensor is probably failing. This is what tells the engine what the the coolant temp is in the engine. Hope this helps some. Of course there are always other factors such as the engine is over heating the starter causing it not to start. Stuff like that. Impossible to say for sure. Just gicing you some things to check. Good luck.
What would make your 1993 F150 inline 6 smoke on start up?
Valve guide seals are worn. The engine will consume oil when this happens, when the engine is shut down the oil continues to seep into the cylinders for a short time. When you start the engine the puddled oil that seeped in burns off. Oil is always seeping in as the engine runs, but not enough to notice until it sits awhile and is started.
