I dont know about your car but a 2000 Honda Civic today the reason for that same problem was the fuel pump.

Had this problem before on my old V-8 cars. Its the starter starting to crap out. What happens is that it gets hot resistance increases and the battery can't spin it. Pull it and have it checked at Advance or someplace that has a bench tester. I'd be willing t bet it takes a ton to spin it.

Good Luck




Semper Fi SAINT. May you rest in peace.

Does your car ever want to die after it is started, if so then I would suggest something along fuel system such as the injectors. But I'd check that starter otherwise.
