ripleydale Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'd look at the battery connections (both ends of + and -), especially if you have old cables. Hot motors are harder to turn over, and draw more current. I've seen cables that look ok on the outside, but pretty decayed on the inside at the end connections. I had the same problem in my Camaro and started to think it was heat soak cooking the starter. I was thinking about shielding the starter from the heat with various things. Then the starter blew up one day, and when I got a rebuilt one, it spun over much faster and never had the problem again. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
