starting problem 700 88

posted by  someone claiming to be gerry giraud on  Tue Jul 24 06:25 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I am having an intermitten starting problem: I turn the key and nothing happens. That is, the starter motor does not turn. all the power comes on, but no starter. If I wait a bit (15-20 minutes, usually, sometimes longer) it has always started. I messed around with the battery terminals, thinking it was loose connection there. But I dont think so. It seems like other cars I have had where the problem was in a starter relay switch. Are these a problem occasionally in volvos? My car has 140000 miles on it, I have had it for about 6ooo. I cant find the starter relay switch on this car. Seem like the problem occurs after long drives, following brief stops, and on very hot days. could be just coincidental, though. it might be just happening randomly.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
