[Tigers] Won't Start When Hot

[CoolVT at aol.com]

Thinking of the recent post where a car wouldn't start  when hot, a recent 
tip in Mac's Mustang Parts reads like  this...
 
"Did you know that battery cables literally wear  out?  Years of 
temperature extremes and exposure to toxic battery fumes  that leak from the case 
around the battery posts can cause corrosion to seep up  underneath the 
insulation & wick its way up into the coper wiring. This of  course, increases the 
resistance of the cable which reduces the amount of  voltage that can travel 
thru the wire to & from the  battery.
 
This is a very common cause of car that won't start  when the engine is hot 
from being driven. If the battery cables on your  Mustang..........."
 
Guess I still don't understand the logic of why it  would affect the car 
more when the engine is hot.
