Okay, I am kneeling at the altar of 240 wisdom--begging for mercy...
I have a 95 manual, standard model with ~ 182k miles--all adult driven, never raced or modified.
This past summer the car would occasionally not start on a hot NorCal afternoon. It seemed to be random, but always after the car was hot and it was hot outside. It progressed now to the point that the car won't start.
I have everything working inside and the battery, starter, alt, etc all tested fine. I've tried the interlock/ascd relay as mentioned on this site, I've tried the ignition relays and fusible link, I tried the little screw on the back of the ignition, etc--NADA! It is also quite difficult to push it started--I have a friend help with his truck in the morning or use the ramp at the parking garage I park in, to make it home. It runs just fine once it's going, but has to get going pretty fast to push started--it may be cooincendental...
I'm dying here people and it's my only way to work.

Any ideas on something I haven't tried?? (Before I take it to the stealership)
Thanks~ ~Pat
