Default NEED MAJOR HELP - GOIN CRAZY!!!

WHATS GOING GUYS? WELL I GOT THIS MAJOR PROBLEM THATS BEEN BUGGIN ME! WELL, I HAVE A 98 GS, WHEN ITS COLD I CAN START MY CAR NO PROBLEM. IF I LEAVE MY CAR OUT IN THE SUN AND ITS HOT I CAN'T START THE CAR. IT WONT TURNOVER. BUT THE FUNNY THING IS, I CAN PUSH START THE CAR. I'VE CHECKED MY ALTERNATOR, HAD AUTOZONE CHECK MY STARTER, CHANGE MY BATTERY. EVERYTHING IS FINE, NOTHING I DID WORKED! I DID NOTICE THAT MY SPARK PLUGS HAD SOME OIL RESIDUE ON THEM. COULD THIS BE AFFECTING THE THE TURNOVER WHEN I TRY TO START IT FROM THE KEY? I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO, IM GOING CRAZY HELP!!!

i would at least replace the spark plugs and see if that fixes it. They are cheap enough anyway. Those should be replaced every-so-often. So even if it doesnt fix it, its something that should be done.

it sounds like a connection problem somewhere. Wish I could be more specific!

one way for oil to get into the spark plugs is with a blown head gasket.

oh yeah, your CAPS LOCK key is broken. you may want to get that fixed.

funny thing about hot and cold with plastic connectors....

when it hots... they expand and when its cold they shrink. so either you are grounding out somewhere with your ignition switch when it expands... or you could potentially check the wiring connecting the key to the ignition switch. although it is highly unlikely that such a drastic temperature change is occuring. this could be due to other problems and this is the result. give your car a good once over with an odbII reader, and a multimeter when it hot and then when its cold.

I think your caps button is broken, any way some 420a's have been known not to start in hot weather due to the ecu getting too hot, but dont jump the gun because I have only herd of the problem on 95 autos. Besides that I have no idea. Check the basics, check for spark, check for fuel and see what you get.
