does anyone else have a problem with their car that is contrary about starting - sometimes just won't start, is dead, but is not the battery.Have to jiggle gear stick, steering wheel, take key in and out etc and sometimes can start in neutral.Goes fine for months then will suddenly play up again.Seems to be hot weather but maybe just coincidence.

We have a Toyota Coaster Automatic like that.Bit of jiggling about and it will work.We did get told what causes it but until it wont start at all nothing will get done about it!Has been like it for a few years now.

Yea you need to fiddle with one thing at a time to isolate the problem, if you know wht i mean. gearstick or key switch.

If your car wont start in park maybe take it to the zoo or the swimming pool.

One posts and takes the answers given, not everyone is to be taken seriously, even the serious replies. The title was bound to ellicit that comment.

Exact same thing happened to me 2 nights ago. In park, battery fine, nothing wrong with alternator. Hit the starter motor on the head a few times with blunt object, starts over like new again!

Exactly what I first thought.
This has been thrashed to death on here, and only within the last week. Jer-jiggle the shifter while holding the key on start. Our Workshop run-about does this periodically, and that's all we do.
