I have a 97 Disco that starts and runs great, but we you cut it of some of the time it will not even turn the engine over. ? Alarm, or relay? Let it set for a while and it fires right up.

 

Your post doesn't make a lot of sense, spelling.
If you are having some sort of a starter issue, first clean the cables and tighten them, then go to a local auto parts store and have them test the battery/alternator for a load test and the starter for any problems.

 

Mike, Sorry about the spelling, it was late. The problems is one I have never encountered. The Battery is OK and the engine runs fine when it starts. Heres a senerio, The vehicle starts fine for a trip to the store, returning to vehicle after say 15 minutes, turning thekey all the lights in the dash, the radio etc. all work. Turn the key to the start position and nothing. The engine doesn't turn over. The starter doesn't make a sound. Now let it set overnite and It fires right up. It may do this once in 10-15 times your go to start the car after driving and the engine is still warm. It has never cut off or lost power while driving. The vehicle starts fine every morning, its just on occassion that this occurs.

Could it be something in the alarm system or possibly a relay in the ignition circuit that is heating up.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

 

Have you tried clearing the inerita switch on the passenger fire wall?

 

inertia switch will cause a cranking no start... is your alarm led on solid when this happens? do you have a remote for the car? could easily be the starter relay, theyre pretty cheap, good shot in the dark... also, remove the power cable from the starter, get a star washer from a parts store and put it on under the nut, they had a big problem with poor contact at the starter
