RE: Car Won't Start!!!

If the starter selenoid is over heating that may do it, All you said was sometimes?
on the 2.8 the pipe is like 5 inches away from the starter.

The same thing happened to my car. I switched the starter and it still wouldnts start, so i had a mechanic look at it and he put a new ignition switch in it and now i have no problems

i have a 92 rs with the pass key thing and i had the same problem. i solved it by bringing my car down to the garage and for 60 bucks they bypassed the vats system in the ignition.
