[DeTomaso] Techno question: it is the starter gremlin again

[Charles Engles]

Dear Forum,


              It is the hot start problem with the starter again.   The old starter is about ten years old.  It starts cold fine, but wheezes and starts theatrically very slowly when it the engine is up to running temperature.   It was marginally better by adding a second ground cable. 

               I decided to install the $50 DB starter.   It starts right up cold, but acts the same way as the old starter.

                This obviously means the problem ain't the starter.  So..... the gremlin lies in the ground ????---------or the gremlin needs a larger power cable to the starter????


                         Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
