Starter is apparently over heating during my commute (which it didn't do for the past year)
(1).What's the cause? (yes I know heat...why I odda (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) ) (2). Is the only cure a new starter?......or...? (3). I also have an interesting idle also...the "warmer" the car the lower the idle? Help Por-favor : (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

No doubt that the resistance of the circuit and subsequent voltage drop to the solenoid is what causes the hot start "click" problem. No doubt you are right.
I guess my point is that, if all those parts have been confirmed to be working correctly, and the problem still exists, I have two options. 1. Start replacing the parts that came with the car with beefier units, larger gauge wire, and better plating on contacts. 2. put the relay in. So, if it is masking, so be it, but I made a good faith effort and verified all components were working properly. |
