Losing ignition feed

[shane k 0]

2.0 16v - Whenever i drive quite long distances or it gets extremely hot, if I switch of the ignition and try starting it again theres NOTHING !! Its not firing up the starter motor.

 

I have to attach a wire to the starter motor and jump it from the battery. When its cooled down it seems ok.

 

Any ideas lads ??

Possibly the ignition switch .Does the starter still spin when starting as my car was but no feed to ignition when starting. Only £14 from GSF . Just a possibility hope this helps. :)

You may find there's too much of a voltage drop to trigger the starter. this could be bad connections, a weak battery, or a worn ignition switch.
