Hi all,
The problem is constant, everytime I try starting the car it usually takes between 3-15 cranks of the key. The starter WILL spin every time, and occasionally it will engage the flywheel, but even with engagement, it doesn't always stay engaged long enough to turn the engine over. If the engine actually turns over, it will start. This problem seems to lessen if there is a fully charged battery in the car, but does still exist regardless.
Also, it is an 4 speed Automatic, and whenever it tries to shift into overdrive, the car kicks into neutral. I'm then forced to manually take turn overdrive off, and slow down the engine until it automatically reengages into 3rd gear. My question is whether this is a transmission problem (i.e. replace the transmission) or a electrical problem with the overdrive relay.
Thanks!
Thomas
