[s-cars] no start...

[Mark Strangways]

I had similar experience.
Went to beer store car started fine for the trip there, no signs.
Went from beer store to gas station, car started fine no signs.
Filled up with gas. No start ever again.
Push started all weekend, and replaced the starter Monday.

It seems these go with little or no warning. I did however have a nasty
little oil leak, which may have lead to the replacement.

On a separate note, my check engine light came on last night on the way to a
friends place, but has been on since.
Any ideas of what can cause a once on kinda thing like this ? Today
everything runs fine,, pulls hard as usual.
