I had the same problems. The best solution (in my opinion) is to buy the mini starter from eBay. It's about 120 bucks with free shipping. It will be the end of your hot start problems. It also works when the car has sat for a long time and the battery charge is not the best. I ripped out the the PO's relay package. It is kind of a Mickey Mouse band aid solution.
