Starting Problem
 

My car starts fine when its cold but when I start it up and let it get up to temp and shut it off it will not start back. It turns over really slow. It has a new starter on it. I thought maybe the starter is getting hot from the longtubes so I rapped it with some heat protechtant stuff but it does the same thing. If I hook a jump box to it, it starts but it still turns over slow. The car also has a new battery.

My question is if the distributor is off a tooth will it cause this? I think it may be this because I'm running 18* of timimg with no spark knocking. This basiclly is a stock motor(see sig.) I don't think I should be running this much timing without spark knocking.

i had a similar problem, i went and checked the alternator. But first when you turn on your car(cold) get a hold of a digital voltmeter and check the batt voltage, if it goes down, then you have a problem. But my problem was when i changed my gauge faces . the gauge cluster has a batt. light but on the back of the cluster there is a light that lights up for the batt. light, it also has a small chip that completes the charging cycle, i replaced that and it was running. I would drive it normally and the car would slowly die down like when i gave gas it would want to shut off. hope this helps

I'm having the same problem. I also know a guy who's having the same problem over on Corral.net, where I posted the same question. We're trying to figure it all out. Why don't you hop in and we can work this together?
