we need an auto repair advice sub-forum!
happy bye week, guys!

i have another interesting problem with my 06 toyota matrix...

this is apparently an intermittent problem, but when i turn the key i get nothing, like the key turns but the car seems to thinks it is not in park...

i tried shifting and tried park and neutral and nothing...

so i have it towed to the auto electric shop and the poor guy tries to get it to fail so he could be sure what needs to be fixed...

he never could get it to fail, so i go and pick it up...

we drive to dinner and back home (maybe 20 miles total) and everything's fine...

until the next day when we go out to start it, it not only won't start like before...

now i can't move the gear shift at all...

I hated all mechanics until I met Sauto on here.

I'm thinking of flying him in for all the work my car needs.

He's that good.

He's as good as you're ever going to get as far as I'm concerned.

Yes. But it could be other things too. Now that it's not starting at all it should be fairly easy to find

that's what i thought when i had it towed to the auto electric guy i had been referred to...

but the tow truck driver started it up when he got to the garage and drove it up to the guy's door...

then the poor guy couldn't get it to fail so he couldn't diagnose it...

of course, as soon as it hits our driveway, it goes on the fritz again...

I've heard those stories before it sucks doesn't it and those guys are getting paid to diagnose a ghost problem, it sucks. Electrical problems always suck.

yeah, my first electrical problem didn't suck, and that led to my first divorce...

then my second electrical problem shorted out all the time which led to my second divorce...

now my third electrical problem er, marriage, has been pretty good in the suck department so instead of a divorce i'll be celebrating 38 years of wedded bliss next june...

Does the car have an alarm. Active alarms disable starting and shifting sometimes.

Also, does the key have a chip in it? If the key has a chip and the transponder doesn't read it wont start.

A brake switch wouldnt stop a car from starting, but a neutral safety switch would.

Computer won't toss a code? My Toyota had the opposite problem. Starter would crank the engine over when cold starting. Once the engine would get up to temperature the starter would not crank the engine. Bought a new starter. Ten minute job.

I've done a quick search, so I'm assuming that the auto repair sub forum didn't happen, but I'm looking for some assistance for my Command Center in getting the timing adjusted and improve the performance on my 1974 Olds 455. I had this vehicle in storage for almost 5 years, but was able to get it running again by replacing the starter, ignition coils, distributor and wiring, and ignition wiring. My issue now is how it runs. I can get it to/from the stadium ok, but noticed that I have no real power going uphill and think that the timing could be the culprit. I still have points on this vehicle, so going with HEI would be the next step? I'd love to find someone local that could assist.
