Wont start after being driven for an hour.	Sign In

I have a 1990 toyota carolla srs it has about 150,000 miles on it. For some reason after I drive it for more than an hour it wont start, it wont even crank but all the lights come on. If i let it sit for about 20 mins it will start up, I am pretty sure that it is not over heating because of the temp gauge. If I don't want to wait the 20 mins to start the car I can jump it. The battery has been replaced. Help if you can.

when you turn the ignition on does it make a clicking sound just beofre it would normally start? does it make any noise or anything when you turn the key to try and start it?

Did this happen with the old battery? If it takes a jump and works there must be a problem with the connections at the battery or perhaps a strange problem with even a new battery.

There could be a problem with the starter motor that is heat sensitive but that doesn't explain why it would work with a jump??
