> I have been having this problem for some time. I am able to start my car in the morning. After driving 10 mins if I stop the car fo rany reason (to fill gas for example), it doesn't start again. It starts sometimes after 20 minutes. The battery is new, you can hear the car trying to start (electrical is fine) but it doesn't start.
