what causes this, i finially goit my car all together, let it run, it got up to about 210 and i just it off, and i went back out, the gauge read 150, and it wont start.

what the **** is going on here, i remember this being a problem, but i dont know a fix, and if its gonna do this every ****ing time its hot, im gonna sell the damn thing

never mind, i think i figured it out, the positive battery cable is shot and im not getting spark, so i think im not getting power to my MSD box

If its not that check your starter for heat soak or the distributor. My distributor was going out and when the car got hot it would kick and buck and shut the motor off for a split second. If I turned the car off and tried to restart it the starter would sounds so sluggish as if my battery was dead.

my 85 did that everytime I shut it off as the headers wrap around the starter so in between jobs today at work I swapped a new mini high torque starter from a 92-95 mustang an solved the whole issue!!!

i had same problem on my 86 vert. turned out to be the distributor module. easy way to check is to take a hair dryer, and when the engine is cold...like first thing in the morning heat up the distributor and mod; then see if it starts. if not....there ya go

it cranks over, stater sounds fine, im thinking it may be the coil

by module did you mean the TFI module. i will be pissed if this distributor is crap...

could be heat soak on the starter....or perhaps too much engine timing..
