My 94 Lumina APV (3.8L) would not start (when warm) - cranked but acted as if no spark or fuel. Mechanic replaced computer @ $350 (said too many error codes to diagnose problem) - did not resolve problem. Then he replaced the camshaft position sensor (CMP) @ $125 - that solved the problem. PB

It could be a variety of things. Start by replacing the coolant temperature sensor and then the throttle position sensor. (Remember in both cases to disconnect the battery to allow the Chrysler fuel profile computer to reset.)

Could possibly be the starter-it may not be working properly. The best way I think to test a starter is to hotwire it from a battery and jump stop start it by grounding it out with a screwdriver.

Start with an OBD2 diagnostic scan. It should give you quite a bit of information.

Normally this is caused by some electronic part overheating and then failing. Can be the coil, or another sensor.

You park the Mazda Rx-8 2004 and after dat it wont start?

You need to warm up the engine until the guage reaches halfway. Otherwise, you will flood the engine and it will not start. There are many links on the Internet on how to get it to restart, but I've had no luck. The dealer fixed it for free. By the way, the less it warms up, the worse it is! Do not start your engine and then just shut it off. It will not restart! ALWAYS warm it up before shutting it off.
