Why does my bus start then won't restart????? Ahh!!!

[chrisandmiche]

Hi,

Can anyone solve this:

Bus starts ok, but won't restart if it stalls or if I turn it off (to go back indoors to fetch my phone, wallet, AA card etc).

On attempting to restart, it is literally dead. Engine doesn't turn over. Nothing!

If I leave it an hour or so, it seems to start again.

My thoughts are starter motor or solenoid, but wonder if anyone knows exactly what this is, based on similar experience or knowledge.

Thanks for your help!

Chris

sounds like the starter, try cleaning the terminals, or the solenoid could be sticking.

Coil is a good bet, heard this happen alot before on other cars. try swapping it out.
