Your starter is heat soaked, just like mine. Buy a new one!!! You have aftermarket headers?

......if you have a hot soak extended crank before fires up.....then checking fuel pressure may be a good idea to see if you have an leak down in the fuel system occuring....if that is what you are refering too...also if it cranks but won't start check ignition and see if it's got spark when prob occurs

RE: hot starting problim
well mine is DEFINITLY the starter. It starts GREAT cold, then i drive around and it runs fine. Then i stop, and the starter doesn't made a damm noise, then after a few minutes it cranks SUPER slow, then after a few more minutes it cranks a little faster and may or may not work, but after a half hour the starter spins fast enough to get the motor cranked for sure. I just gave out the best advise with the very little info given

RE: hot starting problim
do you have underdrive pullies mjr46? If so, how did that alt work out for you. I discharge at idle when i have my accessories on like heat on full, rear defrost, radio, electric fan, and i need a bigger alt. What do you recommend?

the key word used was "does not like to start after warmed up".....not cranks slow......if you have a hot soak extended crank before fires up.....then checking fuel pressure may be a good idea to see if you have an leak down in the fuel system occuring....if that is what you are refering too...also if it cranks but won't start check ignition and see if it's got spark when prob occurs
