88_5.0

Hey guys, I've got a problem that seems like it should be a simple soultion. If i run my car and shut it off before it reaches normal operating temp, and then crank it, it'll start just fine. When i shut it off at normal temp and go to start it within the hour it wont start until it cools down. Sounds like a bad sensor or something? Any help appreciated

Sounds like your starter is overheating, I had to same problem so I baught a new one and it fixed it for a while but then started to do it again. So what I did is get a battery with higher Cold cracking amps and it fixed the problem.

sounds like heat soaking on the starter. the best bet is to upgrade to a mini starter

grabbem- It's barely cranking, not fast enough to turn the motor it's like my battery has no power. The fun part is that i just installed a new starter last week and thats when this crap started.

I would replace the pos wire going to the starter with atleast a "0" gauge wire
