ED1RTY 2 Report post Posted January 26, 2009 change your spark plugs, check distributor for cracks? Had same thing happen in my e30 and replaced most of the ignition system which seemed to solve it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elmarco 56 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 Not the battery cables or starter solenoid overheating is it? Seen that kind of thing before on other vehicles (fine when cold, don't like turning over when hot - admitedly it was in California in summer so it was reasonably hot).

hotwire 352 Report post Posted January 31, 2009 yes!!! yes that is exactly wat it is... how do u fix it? With respect, without knowledge you are probably chasing your tail. Best to get it to an auto sparky & get professionally diagnosed - will save a lot of frustration. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
