The car will start up fine when cool but if driven for 15+ minutes and you turn it off it won't start.

I turn the key the gages, radio and air all work fine but it won't make a clicking sound or make the engine turn. I've tried putting it in neutral to start and it won't. If I let the car cool off for an hour or more I can start it just fine. WTF? Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how did you fix it?

I have a new Interstate battery so it's not that. I've read something about a crank sensor issue and/or a starter solenoid issue possibly creating these symptoms.

Help! I wanna keep loving my pain in the ass car.

But it won't make a clicking sound or make the engine turn.

Battery and connections are squared away-could be the following Could be the starter, starter relay/park and neutral switch and ignition switch.

Just had the starter replaced. It will start up but then when I stop anywhere after driving it a while it will make clicking noise and not turn over. I pull key out then re insert and will start up fine.

Should I replace neutral switch and ignition switch now?
