Ty won't start when hot

[MikeDee]

Hey guys,

my typhoon won't start when the engine gets hot. If the car has been running for a while, I have to wait for it to cool down before it will start.

I figured there was a problem with the starter, so I put in a new one...I still have the same problem.

Do any of you know what it could be or how I can check?

Thanks.

purple wire to the starter solenoid. Replace it with a larger gauge and you should be set.

Thanks for the reply. I'll try that as soon as I get a chance.

If you feel *really* ambitious, you can modify it so that you have no purple wire at all: http://www.syty.huryde.com/html/electrical/starter_wire.htm Did it to my truck and my bud's a few years ago. No more "hot start" problems anymore, EVER.

I finally got around to dealing with the problem. I spliced into the starter wire from the wiring bundle above the brake booster. I ran a new 10g wire. My Ty starts, but I will have to wait for a long drive to truely test it.

I have a new question: In the bundle of wires above my brake booster, I noticed an orange wire that is severely damaged...the entire wire will need to be replaced. I was wondering what this wire is for. I noticed that there are 2 other orange wires with the same gauge. Does anyone know what the orange wires are for?
