This sounds like a problem a friend had with his TR6. The exhaust was puttting
out so much heat that it would cause the starter to expand enough that it would
not turn over. Got a starter heat shield from Summit. Install it and he also
add exhaust pipe wrapping material near the starter.
The problem went away.
Hope that helps. Dale

Aloha All,
My car is running again and it's summer, well it's always summer but that's
another story ;)
I'm having a intermitent problem starting my car. After I've been driving it
for a while, stop the car to go drop something off or go in a store real quick
and then get back in and try to start it. She no start...
If I let it sit for a while, cool down it starts right up. I'm baffled. The
starter seems to be fine, I've replaced the relay, my battery connectors and
ground are securely fastened and it only seems to happen when she's hot???
Any ideas? It's a real drag to get it running but to be afraid to take it
anywhere.
By the way, I can push start it with no problem. But when it's 85 degrees
outside and sticky, it's not a lot of fun...
Thanks gang.
