And I must wait at least an hour to start it again which means that I can't turn it off if I go to the store or something 'cause it won't start. And I must get a jump to have it start. Do you know what I should do? I thought that maybe it was my battery but I got it tested and it said that it was good. And lately, I hear the exhaust fan run when I start my car.

its not an exhaust fan its an auxillary(extra) fan. you either have an engine overheating problem after you run the car for a while and then turn it off it won't start back up, or what i think it is, is that your starter is going out, and getting hot. it'll take a jump because of the strong extra current its getting, but from your own battery its not enough. have that checked. or just trade it in.

I am not a mechanic, but you might want to take it to a shop to get the Alternator checked. the alternator is what charges the battery. Also, it may be the starter. Your best bet is taking it to a certified mechanic.

You need to go to one of those quick lube places.....Let them change all of your oils etc......They will top off your windshield washer.fluid... Mention your problems and they can tell you what you need to do,,,,,,,This may just cost you around $30.00.
It is recommended every 3000 miles to have an oil change and check up...This is why......They will check everything while under the hood for you.....If they can't do certain work they will tell you who can...They are very reliable...They will also check radiator fluids......good luck......By the way....We have our car checked every 4,000 miles and we keep cars for 10-12 years on an average.......

May want to get your altenator checked. They will do it for free at stores like Advanced Auto or Auto Zone.

you have some ignition problems. try pumping the gas before you turn the key...but it should start right away after its warm and not have to cool down...time for a tune-up I guess....

It sure sounds like your battery is going bad...... if it jump starts.
"O" Wise One says.......... you need a new battery
