[DeTomaso] Hot Start Issue

[Tom Shinrock]

 I lived with hot re-start issues for many, many years.  When I blew my clutch I took the car to Cory Gehling to have the clutch replaced.  He said the starter got trashed so he put in a high torque starter.  What difference.  The motor spins like crazy hot or cold.  My hot start issues where a thing of the past after putting in the new starter.  I wish I had done it years before.

Subject: [DeTomaso]  Hot Start Issue


     After I got my car back on the road in August, it's begun to have a
   bit of a
   hot start issue.  It cranks just fine when it's cold, but when I get
   home, I
   usually back into the driveway, stop the car and shut it off to open
   the
   garage and get things out of the right side.  About 2 out of three
   times,
   when I go to start the car again to back it in to the garage, usually
   after
   less than five minutes after I shut it down, it barely wants to turn
   over,
   and starts with difficulty.  Am I getting some vapor lock?
   Ideas please.
   Thanks

   Mike,
   Many years ago my car experienced similar symptoms. Battery was strong.
   Correct timing. All cables were good. I even added another ground to
   the engine block. I was told by a couple of knowledgeable Pantera gurus
   that my car had a not uncommon issue of "heat soak". Where the car
   cranks and starts fine 95% of the time , but slow to crank in very hot
   summer conditions. Nothing worked until I switched out the starter for
   a high quality Power Master unit.
