Will not start when hot

Took it to a mechanic. He installed an ignition actuator and an ignition starter switch. I can see where casting broke on first piece nothing visibly wrong with second
I do not know if was a rare occurrence but parts $75.00 and labor $80.00.
Thanks for your help,
Richard

Where would the clutch safety switch be located? What does it look like and would this prevent the car from starting? Could there have been an attempt to steal the car that would have put the car in some sort of security shut down?

Hello!

I was driving my car to the grocery store last night and when I came out my car would not turn over. It is making a loud clicking sound. Last night the radio and all the interior lights turned on and stayed on. This morning I went to try again and it is making a new clicking sound and the light are flickering on the interior. Is this my battery or alternator? I just received a new battery about two years ago. I have not yet tried to jump my car because my boyfriend is telling me it will not do anything. Should I try this first?

Will not start even after running a few minutes prior. Battery and relays are good and everything electrical in the car works, but it still will not start. Any advice?

Wife just got home and said she had a problem with the vehicle especially when she put it in reverse (?) But seemed okay in "drive" but was a problem again when she backed into the driveway. I went out and tried to start the vehicle to see what was wrong and had to start it twice after it conked out the first time. When I did I noticed a trace of smoke coming from underneath the hood so I immediately shut the engine off and opened the hood. When I popped the hood there was what appeared to be oil all over the engine compartment. What do I do now?
