The problem that you are experiencing is called "heat soak". It is a condition where the heat from the engine and exhaust headers heat up the starter housing, solenoid, and wiring by way of convection. If you have another vehicle, a jump start with booster cables will usually crank it over for you. So why does that make a difference? We'll show you why. |
