Well my latest addition is an 88 Supra Turbo. Not exactly a hot rod (yet) but it gets around.. I need something to drive while the RX-7 goes under the knife.
Anyway it needs its TPS set which is no big deal. What is a big deal though is its hot starting problem. Once the car is warmed up itll turn over but never catch. I can still push start it warm and it starts cold with no problem but the damn thing wont start on its own when its hot!!!
Makes getting gas exciting..
Any ideas would be appreciated...

Id like to keep the car but Ill have to see how much time I have to work on it.
Im starting to think it may be a leaky or faulty injector. Or maybe something with the injector wiring. This weekend Im going to spend some time with it and try to clean things up a bit..
Its tough to push start an automatic! (Yeah its a stick..
)

well to me it sounds like your starter is getting heat sychned that will often cause that problem.

After 3 hours its pretty close to being cool again isnt it? And itll start warm if its less than that? That is kind of odd..
Unfortunately theres no way that I know of to test the clutch inside the starter. If replacing it actually works though Ill consider myself very lucky (and buy a lotto ticket or two).
Ill let you know if it works for me but it could easily be a couple of weeks. Im going to order a metal head gasket and maybe the HKS valve springs just for fun and install those..

That damn thing stays warm for a long ass time... I dont know why it does that. My temp gauge is faulty I think It does wierd things like goes right up to operating temp after firing it up in the morning. But After 3 hours it is still warm though. strange. I may have to try the starter thing since it wont be too hard to change. I might as well do that. let me know how yours works out.
