My car started having a problem when it wouldn't turn on. The moment I shut my car off and tried to turn it back on again, nothing happens. It doesn't even crank over. If I let it cool down for an hour or two, and then try to start it, it usually will start. Sometimes it won't start in drive, but if I move it into neutral it will. It's really weird, it's like when it's hot, it won't turn on, but after it has been cooled down, it will start back up again. Any suggestions would be greatly apprieciated!

We have hooked it up to the battery tester and it came back fine. I wondered about the starter, but someone thought it could be the main computer of my car.
