My stang won't start after it warms up

mustang1994 · May 29, 2009

When I start the car cold it's fine, but as soon as I do normal driving and I turn off the car it will not start till the engine is cooler. Is there a reason to this ?

it could be a couple of things. pull codes first and let us know what you got

That's the thing, there is no codes which is baffling.

try to have a friend with you when it won't start again, then one of you try grounding a spark plug wire to the upper intake while the other cranks.
while cranking if you get no spark, it's most likely the stator in the dizzy has taken a dump. which is common like white on rice.

Ok, what is the stator and where is it located. This is new to me. I like new discoveries.

its inside of the distributor.
you can buy a reman dizzy from the autoparts store, and they give a discount with a core. but many have have badluck with the reman ones.
or you can buy a new stator and replace it.
first u need to find out whats the cause of your problem, then worry about fixing it.

Do you mean it turns over, but won't fire, or it just won't turn over?

The car turns over, but will not fire after being driven.

no, stator is the sensor inside of the distributor

a stator looks like this

a distributor looks like this

mustang1994 · May 29, 2009

Ok distributor not ter. Sorry

mustang1994 · May 29, 2009

Ok I called a parts store about a stator, and the guy didn't have a clue what I was talking about, is there a different name for it cause I think this is the problem.

donkey_punch · May 29, 2009

Pick up, PIP, Stator

try this part number

now i charge for my services, i need your address to send you a bill. lol j/k

mustang1994 · May 29, 2009

Wow you rock man thanks a BUNCH!

donkey_punch · May 29, 2009

dude, before you go and start buying parts, first see if you get spark when it won't hot start.

it could be something else. first you find out what it is before you buy parts.

mustang1994 · May 29, 2009

I know but i think ahead so I can be prepare. And beside this will be my car till I die and just might change it for the heck of it. Is it hard to do that change?

mustang1994 · May 29, 2009

Also, could it be the MAF going bad? And how would know since I have no codes.

why are you sorry, is there something i should know about?

you learned something there is nothing to be sorry about. i was clueless too when stator was first mentioned to me. and then someone was calling it a pick-up, another a PIP sensor, i was got lost reall quick. but now you know

whoa let's slow your roll young grasshopper.

first you need to pinpoint what is causing the problem. lets not try to fix the entire world at once.
so hang out with a friend and let your car idle for a while in your driveway, and once the car is at operating temp turn it off, and try to start it. if it doesn't start, grab the #1 spark plug wire from the spark plug and try grounding it out to one of the front bolts of the upper intake. hold it there while your friend cranks the ignition ( if auto make sure it's in park, or manual out of gear parking brake on, and clutch pressed) if you get no sparks from the plug wire to the intake bolt we found the problem. if you do get spark we have to figure out what the problem is.

i have a link to a how to from another site. thats were i got all of the pictures from. you will need some tools that not everyone has. the right way is to use a press, but it can be done with a table vice, a punch set and a brass or dead blow hammer

first find out the problem
