If you have to change neutral start switch, have a good size catch pan ready. Atf will fall out.
Ok....so next time it does it, rig up a jumper wire from the terminal that the yellow wire normally plugs onto, to a ground. I usually squeeze a ring connector on one end, and take a screw holding the starter rely off, clean the bottom of the head of the screw, and then put the ring connector on the screw and tighten it back down. Put a push on female spade connector on the other end, and plug it onto the lug you unplugged the yellow wire from. Then see if it will start with the key. That will tell you whether it's the starter relay or the neutral safety switch.
You lost me on this one... I'll have to read it like 10 more times to not understand it still lol
Yes, he did. Relays have a hot side and a ground side, and the starter relay gets it's ground from the NSS. If the ground section of the starter relay fails, it will not see the ground that is supplied by the NSS. You can simply ground that terminal ON the starter relay to test and see if the car will start with the key instead of having to jump the hot terminals with a screwdriver like we have all done in the past. It is NOT a good idea to just ground that terminal, and be a cheap *** and continue to just use the car that way. It will now start in any gear.....which ain't a good thing!Did he say, ground the NSS terminal at the starter relay??
that's quite a transformationNo car stuff.. cleaning, sanding and packing... going to make the back yard tables nice so we can sell them.

Have you looked at the connector on transmission yet?I'm going to post a new thread because this is weird.
My car starts up just fine when it is cold. It runs like a champ! When it's warm is when it acts like a dead fish in the water...
So this could be a relay getting overheated or something else?

Another thing to check would be the big connector block where the wires come thru the firewall. If there is trouble there, it will usually be a bigger red or black wire. The connector will look all melted around it. Check inside and out.....happens on both sides of the firewall.
Some causes I've experienced were bad coil, bad ballast resistor, and gas boiling in the carb.
