My car sometimes wont start. It doesn't happen all the time. The motor turns over well, but there is no spark. One time it even stopped dead at a busy intersection. The car was idling and just cut out. It took me 10 minutes to get it started again. Some days like today it is fine and starts OK. On the times when it won't start, I have to leave it an hour, or even overnight before it will start again. Why am I not getting spark? It is really stressful as I can't even clutch start it being an automatic transmission. The car has been regularly serviced every 6 months and well taken care of. Can someone please help?
Wrong!! The car is definately a 1998 Hyundai Excel and not an earlier model Accent.
I figured it is not the coil overheating as it was not used at all today or overnight, and it wouldn't start. Guess I will put it in for repair with a Hyundai mechanic.
