No start after warmed up

Asked by Guru9W5T1C Feb 21, 2021 at 01:34 AM about the 2010 Chevrolet Cobalt 1LT Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My car will start right up time while cold, but once driven and
shut off, while still warm, car will not turn over. All lights work
radio works, battery is good, there's no click or anything
though. Was told it was the starter but yet I'm able to jump
start it. Just recently started happening out of nowhere and
I'm at a loss. Already sunk money into this car for another
issue that still hasn't been the fix for it and would like to not
have to do that again with this problem

Things you can do yourself for free are... inspect all wiring. Make sure all conections are tight and clean. Make sure all grounds are tight and cean, there are several of them. Load test your battery to make sure its as good as you think it is. Test the starter to make sure its actually in good shape. They rarely fail, but it could happen. After that a few dollars spent at a shop that specializes in auto electrical problems will be money well spent. Don't spend ANY money on parts until you know for sure they are needed. Hope this helps.
