Have you noticed the car losing water? How is the plug fouling? Does it have oil on the plug or is it wet with water? You could be losing a coil pack too.

Rick, this is just something for you to try. With foot on the brake turn steering wheel back and forth while trying to turn ignition. You may have something damaged in the ignition, have a good Tech diagnose and estimate repair. "I hope this helped you out, if so let me know by pressing the helpful button. Check out some of my other posts if you need more tips and info."

oes your vehicle have to have the brake pedal pressed to allow the engine to start? That's a safety interlock. If your brakes are not working and you have no brake pressure that would be the reason that the safety switch is not allowing you to start the engine. So.......... You'll need to repair the brakes.

Hi Dissa: The brake and not starting are two separate issues. For the engine to start there has to be fuel in the cylinders, and spark at the plugs (unless it is a diesel) If the engine is not turning over then power is not getting to the starter. So, either the battery, terminals, connections, wires, or solenoid are not functioning. Spark can be checked bu pulling a plug lead and holding it next to the block while someone tries to start the engine. It should be "hot" and blue. If you have spark then the problem will be with fuel delivery. After you've isolated the problem reply as a COMMENT to this post and I'll try to assist. Cheers.

There is a thermostat which turns the fan on and off to maintain a reasonably level temperature of the coolant. If the fan has stayed on, I would think that the thermostat has jammed on and that's why it keeps the fan running. You will need a new thermostat. ( Not the water thermostat that is in the engine) A fan thermostat is what you will likely need.. A Dealer or parts outlet shop will know what you need.

In the link and a video as well. NOTE: they are POUND INCH not Foot Pounds.
