Subject:Starting problems
From:khgo50

I've been having problems with starting, where if I don't hear the humming
after turning the key before cranking, it will not start. Once awhile when
this humming
sound comes on, invariably it starts. On this one occasion when it did
start, I drove around the
neighborhood and after about 2 miles, it died while in motion. After
repeated attempts, it would not even attempt to crank. I let it "cool off"
for 30 min.and then turned the key, no hum whileit was attempting to crank
and did not in the first 45-60 sec. but suddenly started. I came home!
I've just replaced the ignition switch. No help. In the past I've changed
the relay to fuel pump, replace with new fuel pump, new cables, spark plugs,
new distributor cap with rotor, new battery.

Any help is greatly appreciated?
