#77 of 105 car won't start after shut off for short time by mikey_c2 Apr 23, 2009 (4:26 pm)
So this has happened to me maybe three, four times in the last two months. I would stop and go into 7-11, or walmart, or pickup pizza, and be in there for like 5 minutes. Come back out and my car won't start. It sounds as if its just not getting enough gas, it tries to start, and shows promise for about 1-2 seconds, but then stalls. However, if i wait about 20 minutes it will start right up like it never happened. What is the deal? Please help.

Replying to: mikey_c2 (Apr 23, 2009 4:26 pm) sounds like you have a bad coil, when its gets hot it will stop firing and 20 mins or so it may start. take a look at your coil.

Replying to: mikey_c2 (Apr 23, 2009 4:26 pm) Sounds like vapor lock but I didn't think that was possible with fuel injection. I don't think a bad coil would prevent it from starting. Next time try putting the accelerator all the way to the floor while cranking. Replies to this message: papasam1 (Apr 24, 2009 7:57 am) akirby (Apr 24, 2009 10:44 am) papasam1 (Apr 24, 2009 6:52 pm)

Replying to: akirby (Apr 24, 2009 5:50 am) A bad coil will do just what I said and the way that I said it. If the car is flooded then putting the accelerator on the floor may have done the trick but not in this case. Replies to this message: akirby (Apr 24, 2009 10:44 am) papasam1 (Apr 24, 2009 6:52 pm)

Replying to: papasam1 (Apr 24, 2009 7:57 am) Sorry, I just realized I was in the mustang forum, not the LS forum. When you said coil I thought you meant Coil on Plug - one cylinder - and there's no way that would cause a no-start. If you're talking about a single coil or coil pack then I can see that.

#83 of 105 A real solution by badpony02 Apr 27, 2009 (5:56 am)
Found the problem to my 02 Mustang "miss"...apparently a fairly common fault with the 3.8L V6 is bad coil packs...they often do not show up all the time on computer....if your having problems give this a try...Good luck

Replying to: dewalt (Apr 19, 2007 8:31 am) the beindix on the starter is most likely the problem

Replying to: dewalt (Apr 19, 2007 8:31 am) the bendix on the starter is most likely the problem
