Starter cranks SLOW...only when HOT Options

[Kerrys914]

Finally got my air filters..Freak'n two weeks due to a mix up (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

I drove the SIX around for about 20 mins and pulled in to a gas station for a fill up (1st one in a year). Went to leave and it cranked VERY slow and wouldn't start. So I sat there for a about 5 mins and tried to start it again. It cranked alittle faster, just enough to start.

Drove home with no issues

I get home and check the voltage at the battery 13.4v (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) Nice. I shut the car off and tried to start it again...it cranked VERY slow.

I came back outside after about 30mins and it cranked like a son-of-bitch and fired right up (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)

The battery is new..last year. The alt light is only on when I first start the car. Once I rev it above 1500rpm's it goes out and stays off. 13+ volts at the posts


Any thoughts

Sounds like the hot start problem.

As the car warms up the engine is harder to crank over.

Happened with my car. It has a 3.2 in it.

I got one of them new high torque starters and the problem went away.
