Hook up a draw meter. Sounds like your starter is screwed.

TFI's are known to go bad as well with heat. Once they cool down engine will start, just another thing to check

TFI module wouldn't make the car feel as if it had a dead battery when he was attempting to start it. Heater soak will do this, though.
