My problem is in the morning I start my car and drive it a short way. When I stop and cut it off, it will not start back up for a while. When it starts back up their is no problem. It has been doing this for a couple months. I have no idea what the problem is.

No crank and no start. It does nothing man. I have tried to jump it and it still does nothing. Some say its the starter and some say its the ignition switch. I hope you can help.

I have attached the starter replacement procedure for this vehicle, for any one else who might be looking for the instructions.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
