Why would you turn off the ignition while your driving?
Is your battery flat?
Do you have any EML codes?
What car do you have?

  Have you got a Roger Whittaker CD stuck in the player .

  Roger Whittaker CD  

As surggested in your other threat. When problem show, try disconnect the headunit.
If that solves the problem, then there's one of the wires that needs to be removed from the ISO-connector.

You mean if you turn the key in the ignition to the start motor position while the engine is already started and running?? The starter motor whizzes round trying to start and already running engine and makes a horrid noise as a result of it grinding??

If the car jump starts but will not start of its own accord...probably either the starter motor or maybe the crank shaft sensor...

no its not that if i get in my car and go out for a ride its fine but then say i pull over turn off the ignition pull out the key and then start it up again its as if the battery has suddenly died on me but when its jump started again its fine any ideas

[Bumbazor]

Alternator or battery probably. Does it ever start ok without requirig a jump start?

Possibly the wiring fom the ignition to the starter motor.
The wires attached to the starter motor solenoid can
cause this problem if they are loose or dirty.

Had this on my Senator B last summer. Cleaned and
renewed wiring connectors to starter solenoid, and had
no more problems...

yes it starts fine every day just seems to happen when i have been out and about in it. drove 150 miles yesterday got off the motoway to stop at the shop got back in the car and it was if the battery had died all of a sudden. been this morning and all is normal for now anyway

Seeing as, on another post, this only happened after you fitted the radio....   ....so to state the obvious, but have you tried removing said radio?
