Car acts dead after it gets hot...

DentalDart said

A picture would be great! I really haven't been working on the car much because... well I've been in Missouri and a little busy since I got back!

It didn't start after sitting for 5+ hours yesterday, until I bumped the starter relaynwith a screw driver lol.

I need to go get a test light apparently...

What are you calling "bumping"? Lets get our redneck terminology right, ok? Do you mean electrically JUMPING the relay, as in crossing two points on it with the metal screwdriver? OR do you mean PHYSICALLY bumping it as in tapping on it with something?

Depending on exactly WHAT you mean might lead you to get an incorrect answer and it sounds like it has. I'm still unclear on exactly WHAT your damn problem IS because your description is clear as MUD.

Are you saying once the engine is hot the starter will not turn the engine from the key? Be specific instead of bump this, jump that screw this and **** that, ok?
