[DeTomaso] Fluttering Amp Gage

[Marshall Smith]

Is your hot start problems due to the engine turning over very slowly when warm? (almost like a dead battery).
If so, our fix in the olden days was to run an extra ground wire from someplace close to the starter to the frame. 
Next time you have your starting problem, use a jumper cable to add a ground from the engine to the frame. If the engine immediately turns over faster, thats your problem.
