1986 )Olds 98 Regency Brogham
I have had this car for several yrs- has abt 60,000 miles on it- no big problems until now- it always has started immediately and still does except for once in a while it just turns over and over and will not start until it sets for a while- quite a while the last time- have had it in two garages and neither one knows what it is- for one thing it wouldn't do it for them just started right up- it has stranded me a few times- I am thinking it is a sensor or relay but it seems unless it won't start for them they can't find it-
Any ideas what it might be?
Thanks!

It is a four wheel drive and I am thinking could be temp sensor as it is worse when weather is hot but so far cannot convince a mechanic of that= as long as it is starting for them they can't find the problem and since I am not knowledgeable or able to fix a sensor (76 yr old lady) am up a creek LOL!

Whereabouts are you Suzy?. Surely someone using this forum will know of a competent honest repair shop near you.
I own a couple of H body cars, and I use the "Pontiacbonnevilleclub" website for help and advice with my car. Don't be put off by the name - Oldsmobile and Buick owners are welcome.

I live in Midland Texas and have taken it to two places- Big Three auto which has always been good but they don't do sensor or computer problems and then to Mid Tex which does have diagnostic equipment and I thought would be able to catch the problem but it was starting fine for them.
Thanks for your time!
