I have an intermitent problem with my car, sometimes, when I try to start the car, It won't turn, I get ignition on the dash and I can hear the fuel pump running, and I get power on all accesories.
Sometimes It will start after I let it cool down, but today i had to have it towed from the gas station where it died last night. Up until yesterday it was a intermitent problem sometimes weeks would pass without any problems, and sometimes it would do it several times a day.
It is a automatic, could the neutral safety switch be acting up?
or maybe the starter?
I will apreciate any comments or input on this matter.
I also just changed the fuel distributor and fuel injectors, could someone at the BOSCH shop done anything by accident that causes this problem?
Thank you

but, you can test the neutral safety switch (NSS) by moving the gear to neutral and see if it starts. If it does, it is a bad NSS.
Among the most common problems, it could be a bad, or going bad, fuel pump relay, you can bridge contacts (do a search), or a bad ignition switch. You can wiggle the ignition and see if it starts.
Happy hunting!

When you say "won't turn", I assume you mean no response at all from the starter, meaning no click or anything.

After the NSS, I would start with the electrical connections running to the starter and the battery cables/battery ground. The starter draws more current than the accessories, and a marginal connection may only be evident under load.

Could also be the ignition switch.
