Here in Texas there are still starter/generator places that rebuild. U might check your area to see if there are any.

QUOTE(SLITS @ May 28 2010, 03:06 PM)  QUOTE(silverteener @ May 28 2010, 07:24 AM) Well I still have this problem. I haven't put the other starter on yet but it's not in the best shape so I'm not sure it will work. I've driven the car the past couple days and it has started with no problems. I just went out to go somewhere and it won't start again. It sat for about an hour since I got here to work. I felt the selonoid and it does not feel hot. I guess I'll try putting on the hot start harness and see if that will help. I don't have the money for a new starter right now. I guess I'll have to jump the starter today huh. It's not so much the solenoid getting overheated, it's the contacts inside that get burned and do not make good contact. Try whacking it with a hammer (or other suitable tool). On old Chevys we would take the solenoid apart and filp the copper contact disk inside ... wella, a new starter (almost). Oh, and for a hot start relay, I use a cheap ass Ford solenoid ($6). Doesn't come with the wires, but comes with instructions. Anybody need one or some? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Yup, copper in starters/solenoids go melty melt!

I believe this hot start issue may be my problem or I'm having a hot start flooding problem. It starts runs good and then after I stop it and leave it for about 10 minutes and it doesn't start leave it for awhile longer and its fine. Although it turns over just won't start. Similar to not gettingg fuel thoughh.

Mine would not even turn over. I put the hot start relay on this weekend and haven't had a problem so far! I hope it's fixed for a while. I can't afford a new starter right now! If your's turns over I doubt its a hot start problem. but I'm no expert! good luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
