hey guys. i posted this in the general tech section already but i need some answers... the car starts fine when cold. then at operating temp, its hard to start. like the battery is dieing. i put a volt meter on the battery and it read 16.5. i don't think its the timing but i could be wrong. is it possible the starter is dragging?? its a napa starter, so should i buy a power mini starter? thanx in advance.

 

most likly your starter

 

bad starter, or starter heat soak from high under hood temps. it its the latter i have had luck with starter heat shields and header wrap.
