this has been touched on in a few forums but i just wanted to make sure; when my car is warm the motor has a very hard time starting "sounds sluggish" i went to auto parts store and had to battery/alternator checked and they were both good. i was wondering if i would need to invest in a msd ignition system.

does it crank over slow, or just not want to start?

fox91

very slowly,sounds like its wanting to die

sdmaker

sounds like you need a new starter.

fox91

yeah, probley right, should i get a performance started or just replace it

If you go to a regular auto parts store, ask them for one for a 94 / 95 5.0. It is the smaller, more efficient, more powerful starter and should bolt up no problem.

dryvingnut

about 2x the price though...

yeah personally i would go with the newer starter also. they do wire up a bit different though. I think 93's had the high torque starter also.

fox91

alright, well what are the feelings dealing with msd ignition/crane cams ignition

sdmaker

personally I like the msd, ignition would not be making it crank slow though. and if I remember right from doing mine, to run the newer high torque starters (93 and up) you just need to run one 12 gauge wire from the fender mounted solenoid to the starter mounted solenoid.
