Last year I replaced the starter motor because the car (1990 corolla) wouldn't start.
Lately, the car has been failing to start, but only when the car is hot. It starts fine when it is cool, like in the morning or when I am leaving work in the evening. The problem is after I have driven for an hour or so and then i stop for gas or to run into a store then try to start the car again, it won't start. So definitely the problem only happens when the car is hot.
Its called heat soak.. the starters seem to be prone to this problem, specially on 4AGE powered corollas where the starter is located right under the exhaust manifold. :hammer:
