Default Alright this is Frustrating.

Well im frustrated with the Bonnies engine..

it starts up first crank.. like 2 sluggish cranks then its up and fine..

it has a new battery..

its fluids are all good..

not leaking nowhere..

the fuel is getting to where it needs to be..

but for some reason.. after i drive it for a few mins.. like 10 mins and stop and turn off the car.. it wont turn back on.
i dunno what it is.. at first it still cranked but sluggishly..
now it just cranks once then ticks.. the battery meter says it has voltage so other than that its just a hot engine..

but for 10 mins.. damn.. i have to wait like 4 hours till i can drive it again..

what can i do about this?..

a friend told me to get a high performance starter..

what does it sound like to you guys.. please help this is pretty frustrating.. and i need a good mechanic in atlanta to take the thing to..

Sounds like a heat soaked starter. Look into getting a heat shield or remote ford type solonoid.

Check the M.A.D. electrical site they had diagrams how to wire one up, I have done it on my Nova, works great,

I just installed the MAD Enterprises kit and made sure the cable from the battery to the starter was real big. It cured the problems I had similar to yours. I mounted mine on the passenger side wheelwell near the battery. If I can do it, anyone can.
