Thread: Need help with 96 Grand Prix

I have a 1996 Grand Prix 3.1L V6. It is having starting issues, every now and then, quickly becoming more frequently, I will go to start my car and all the accessories will turn on but it car doesn't even try to turn over. If I wait 10-15 minutes it will most of the time start and if that doesn't work, I can hotwire it. This is really becoming and inconvenience, and the mechanic shops around here thought it was the alarm so they disabled it and it worked fine for a while but the problem is starting to pop back up. If you have any suggestions please help, I am going crazy and I just want my car to be dependable.

Thanks in advance,
Mark

Yeah I put the key in the ignition and I can connect a cable directly from the hot terminal to the starter. It will start right off then, but it does not make any difference when I put the car in neutral. But if i don't hotwire it and just wait a few minutes, it will usually start. This is blowing my mind

Ok so a couple of things that I have noticed over the past few days after thinking about it non stop. It may be coincidence but originally I thought there was something wrong with the driver side door lock, but sometimes when when I shut the car off it acts like it doesn't have enough power to unlock my door. The passenger door has always been fine but the drivers door may or may not unlock automatically. It can still be turned manually. Also when I attempt to hotwire the car via the starter, now the starter will just spin. Before it would start the car, but not anymore. Any Ideas?
