1992 Nissan 240Z Heat from sun

Electrical problem
1992 Nissan 240Z 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 175867 miles

My car will crank fine in the mornings. But if it is parked in the sun on a warm day, it will not crank. Go back late in the evening or at night, it will crank. A salesperson at Advance Auto contacted a mechanic who told him that he has seen several Nissans with this problem. Possibly the computer, wiring harness, or distributor. Any advice?

Hi there,

I have not heard of this my self, but a scan will pick up a problem with the ECU and ignition system and set a code, start here.
