I've had recurring issues with the hot start problem. I had the starter rebuilt with a new solenoid, and I installed the Bosch hot start relay. So far so good. But is there a way to start the car if it happens to me 50 miles from home besides push start? I tried jumping the battery connection on the solenoid to the starter with the ignition "ON" and I could hear the starter "whrrr" but it never engaged into the flywheel. TIA

i thought hot start had to due with hot gasoline and fuel pump being in engine bay.
that aside, i put a bosch relay near my starter, one problem i have is from driving in bad weather, is corrosion on the terminals. i've installed a wire from battery to a momentary switch and the end terminal is near starter, and when my car won't start, i pull the ignition wire to starter and install the wire from my half assed momentary switch and it starts fine. meaning the starter turned engine and car starts. i should wire this switch to my dash as an always available back up. when my wires are wet and corroded, starter does not turn at all. i hate rainy salty days : ( Attached image(s) |

Both those connectors go straight to the starter solenoid. |
