Drove into town, turned engine off, back in the car within 10 min and it would not start for 2 hrs. I pumped the gas twice and it started right up. Had this problem before but the I simply took off the negative cable for 1 minute put it back on and the car started. This last time it was very warm out, and the engine was hot. After getting home it has been starting every time, but I haven't driven very far either. The car also has copper battery clamps. Is it possibe that the car just overheated this last time? Thanks Jason

Hi Jason,

If the engine had overheated, there would be coolant losses in the radiator system.

I would suggest you take a look at the main relay, known to fail occasionally due to bad continuity in its circuit board.
