Car will not turn over, when it does start I drive it if the temperature outside is hot and I use the air. When I stop and turn off car it will not start have to wait about an hour. New battery, new crankshaft still will not turn over. I hear a noise in the shifter only. I have two keys either works.

Hello,

It sounds like you have a starter that is going out, here is a guide to help you confirm. Look toward the bottom of the guide.

and if so here is a guide will show you what you are in for when doing the job.

you will need to jack up your car.

Please run some tests and get back to us we are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
