Engine wont start when hot!!! help!

[v8vinny]

well i today we pulled a plug when the car wouldnt start and it was dry. I dont no now if it isnt getting fuel, but the release valve on the fuel line sprays fuel out when you push it. I'm starting to go with my the starter is getting heat soaked and i was going to try and jump it, roll and it put it in gear but no one was around to help us push. I dont no if i mention it before, but if you spray some ether in the air filter it will fire when the problem occurs.

Assuming it has a 91 starter? like mine, it's big and unreliable, might consider getting the smaller lighter 93+ starter (more cranking torque), you just have to run an extra wire to make it work, run a search if your intrested.

For this hea soak problem with these long tube headers, would putting header wrap around the header by the starter do the trick or just possibly help?

Don't use the header wrap. The mini-high torque starters will be fine, I run one as well with my longtubes, no problems.

I bought a heat shield for my starter, ugly but works.

I had the same problem a few years ago, car would start when cold and run fine. But wouldn't start when hot. Long story short, it was the ECU. It appears that one of the wires coming off the starter relay grounded out and fried the computer. New ECU, no more problems. I shot just about every wire in the car to figure that one out.

well i didnt see the post about not using header wrap, but my friend is cheap and doesnt want to buy a starter, but the wrap seemed to have work, now the car will fire when its hot but it still seems like it is struggling to start, maybe one day he will listen to me and get a starter but for now its working and thanks alot guys for all the help.
