Hey Just Me,
I had the same prob, check your ground that runs from the trans to the firewall, it might be loose. It's kind of a small ribbon wire.
I checked mine and it was really hot after trying to start it too.
My car would start fine when cold, then after it warmed up, the damn thing would crank over real slow and then it wouldn't do anything at all. I finally replaced that small wire with a short 4 guage ground wire from an auto parts store ($5), that fixed it!
anyways- good luck.
