[DeTomaso] Slow cranking when hot

[Jim Wallace]

Robert,
Let me know the outcome here, I have the same issue.  I was initially thinking the timing was too far advanced at base line, but that would cause a problem either hot or cold.  I changed the starter to a hi torque like you as well as the relay, no help.  I was thinking of adding a second ground strap next.
Either way keep me informed on your progress.
Jim

Hi, I am just touring trough Dolomites and car is running fantastic!
One annoying thing I never experienced before is very slow cranking if car is hot (for example after refueling). It cranks so slow that it barely starts.....when cold or if left 30 minutes to cool down it cranks great!?
Any experience with similar behavior, what to look for?
Already got the hi torque starter and 180 degree headers, so my headers are pretty far from the starter.

Thanks, Robert
