RE: Hot car don't start

You havn't described enough info on your problem, but there are two things to look for (for a start, no pun intended). First, is the engine trying to crank over at all? Hot FE's are difficult to turn over and the stock starter barely makes it crank. Secondly, a number of rebuilt Ford starters have an intermittent problem where the starter case was painted before the "guts" were installed. Drilling out a number of rivets that hold ground connections to the starter frame and then tapping the holes and putting in machine screws can help a lot. It did for me...my starter had an intermittent throw-out coil due to a ground through paint. Tell us more about what your engine does and doesn't do and I'm sure will get more accurate responses.
This thread, so far...
