2003 Taurus SES won't start when engine is hot!
 

Hello all. I have an unusual situation with my 2003 Taurus. I just moved to florida from maryland and noticed a problem with my car within a week of getting here. Let's say I get up in the morning to go to work. I get in my car. Everything is fine. All of the little lights come on like their supposed to on the dash and then go out. I drive for about ten minutes and stop to get breakfast. I come back out to my car, put my key in the ignition, go to turn it and..... nothing. The car doesn't even attempt to start. All of the lights come on like their supposed to on the dash and then go out after a few seconds, as if I'm starting the car. The air conditioner works. The temperature gauge is normal. Radio works. Headlights work. So, I open the hood and wait for about ten minutes. I turn the key and VOILA! The car starts as if there was no problem at all. Any thoughts as to what this could be would be appreciated!

you might want to check your coolants... you might be leaking some from the container.

The only thing that pops to mind is to check your battery terminals to see if they need cleaned. After they warm up, they may not conduct as good.

Taurus wont start
 

Did you ever figure out why your car wouldnt start ? I have the same car with the same problem. Anyone else know what the cause may be?
