Has anyone had a problem with the starter after a long drive? Driving on a long trip. After second gas stop, all it does is spin. Does not engage and turn over engine?
Will this cure itself when cool? Is that what folks mean by the "dreaded hot start starter issue". Never happened before, but then again, have never driven over 150 miles at a clip. |

I concour, it is the solenoid failing to engage the starter motor with the flywheel. I have had all the dreaded "fail to start" issues in the last few months and after reading many search articles I finally replaced the starter and solenoid with all new stuff. The fuel pump had already been moved to the front.It is a really straight forward task as long as you realize the top bolt is indexed into a lobe in the starter housing casting. It is released by a 17mm nut accessible in the engine compartment ( the neg ground strap was secured here in my case). I got a high trque starter from hi performance products and it seems to have resolved at least this problem for now.
