If your is a MTX try to push start it when it is having the problem, that way you won't be stranded anywhere. I hope this helps.



Any idea of cost? difficulty?
I think it only happens when hot, is it realted to the starter?
unluckly i have ATX




starters aren't exactly cheap to buy about $160...i replaced mine a couple weeks ago...mine had trouble when it was cold....it wasn't too hard to replace....it isn't exactly easy either though....you have to remove a few things to make it easier(air filter assembly,battery,battery tray,helps to remove coolant hose also)the bolt nearest the firewall is easy with a long extension,the one at the front requires an open end wrench...the electrical connectors are a pain(takes some patience)...not too hard a job,just have to remove the right stuff to make room,and use some patience....
