Mechanic problem. 1988 ford bronco?
I have an electrical problem. I have a great battery and alternator. But if i drive, turn off the vehicle go inside the store. Grab a drink, come back and try to start it. Its like the battery is dead. I have to wait 15 minutes or more for it starts again. Its a 1988 ford bronco full size 5.8l
All anyone on YA can do is guess; you need to have a mechanic do a diagnosis… There's many possible reasons
Batteries don't miraculously recharge themselves from dead - remove, clean and tighten the battery cables (BOTH ENDS), and try again. If that doesn't do it you will need a multi-meter and try to find out where the problem is starting (switch, relay, starter etc).
Could be a bad starter. Do the lights/radio/windows work? If so, it OBVIOUSLY is not like a dead battery. It also could be a bad solenoid. I'm guessing when the starter or solenoid is hot, it doesn't work.
Bad starter bad wire to starter bad wires to starter soleniod even the little ones
May be a bad head gasket. It leaks water into the pistons, causing a compression lock. Once it cools down and the steam condenses back to water you can start it. If you constantly have to fill the radiator and your exhaust seems to have a lot of steam or water coming out, fix the gasket.
- Car acceleration problem and idle problem. The car is a 2003 Ford Taurus? . When the car is running and in parked its making a loud consisted rev noise. However the rpm needle thingy is not moving. when i'm in drive the car acclerates on its own with the speed ever increasing. i did some googling and learned that it can be the TPS sensor or the idle air intake valve, among a million other possiblities.
- My mechanic put 5w30 oil in my ford ranger instead of 5w20. What could go wrong? Took my 2007 2.3L ford ranger in for an oil change, and they put 5W30 oil in it instead of the 5W20 that is shown in the book. Will this cause any problems, should i call them and have it changed/?

- What's wrong with my Ford Focus? It turns off at every stop! A mechanic checked his comp and said no errors It just turns off. A friend changed my burnt sparkler cables, my spark plugs, my fuel filter and other stuff, but he can't seem to find what's wrong with it. Is there something else wrong with it? When a mechanic hooked it up to a comp to check to see what's wrong with it, nothing came up since the check engine light isn't on. What's up with the car? It's a 2000 Ford Focus SE.
