Hello Friends ,
For those of you that last followed my clutch saga /I ended up replacing
bent linkage and the master cylinder .
Now here is the new problem. From a cold start the car starts fine. When I
drive a few miles and the car is fully warmed up I pull over and shut down
the engine. I try to restart the engine and its like this . chug chug chug
almost like the battery is dead and the car starts.
Is it the timing ?
The starter is fairly new so i do not think its the starter . Is it
possible to connect the wires incorrectly on the starter to cause the starter to
turn slower when hot?
I also noticed that when i start the car at night the headlights will not
come up for a few minutes . Wierd?
Maybe this is all related . The alternator was recently upgraded to 100amp.
All help is greatly appreciated
