Hey all.

Went to wyoming this weekend to party it up... me and some friends wanted to race and my check engine light was on. .. . (mis fire on cylinder #3)
anyways, i unplug my battery to reset the computer (higher altitude [7,200 feet above sea level] and to get rid of the check engine light.)

i go to start the car again and the starter starts to turn over for litterally .5 a second... then NOTHING. at ALL.... not even a click.

anyways, we push start it and we go racing... when we get out in the boonies i turn the car off (not thinking aobut it) and then i go to start it and it starts up! :-[

anyways, if i let the car sit for more than 5 minutes i have to push start it. otherwise it starts fine.

I've replaced all 3 relays in my under-hood fuse box.

Whats the next step? next week link? do i replace the starter? the seliniod? check fuses? would a fuse do anything with the starter?

Thanks all,
Chris

I would check the connections going to the starter. Make sure they aren't loose or anything.
