Okay. The car start only when the engine is cold but when the car warms up and you turned off the engine and try to start the car again, the starter won't even crank and the fuel pump does not make any noise. What could cause this?

Are your battery connections clean and tight?

Yes all battery connection are tight and clean.... How can it be the alternator when the car does not even start? and all the accesorry turn on fine . The car works fine if you get it to start.. I'm just confuse with this problem

I was just going to post that the pos. connection might be loose, or that the starter soleniod may be stuck, thus enabling it from spinning the starter motor.

Try tapping on the starter assembly to see if you can unstick the solenoid / aks switch...

This has happened to me twice before..

The first time it was my starter that went bad. So you may need yours replaced.

The second time I thought I might have gotten a bad starter, so I took it off and checked it in our shop. It was still alive. Put it back on and it works fine. Just a loose connection apparently that I missed on removal.

Hope that helps..
