- 98 VT Wagon bog stock
G'day all.
I have a bog stock V6 auto VT wagon,with just on 150k on the clock.
Has been regularly serviced,and generally pretty well maintained.
In the last couple of weeks or so,starting has become a bit of a "trauma".
When the ignition is turned,it will turn over,but not start / run.Then when you turn the key again,nothing..........instrument / dash / warning lights all fuction etc,but no ignition........turn key back to "off" and then start procedure again.......sometimes it will kick over,sometimes not.
One thing that someone told me to do,and seems to work,is when the ignition doesn't start it..........run through the gears from P to 1 and back,then try it again.
Strangely,75% of the time this works.
Battery is 12 months old,and terminals tight etc.
Unfortunately,I know very little about cars,and was hoping that some of you guy's could shed a bit of light on it for me.
Thanks in advance.
