Question Anyone have any suggestions???

Well, I am still having starting problems

I turn the key, and get nothing. Have full power (radio, lights, ect). I have replaced the starter, fire-wall mounted selenoid, battery, fuses and even had the engine-kill (Viper alarm) disabled.

It NEVER does it when the engine is cool or cold. It only does it after I drive it. And after I let it sit about 15-20 minutes...it will start like it has no problem.

Am out of ideas as to what it might be.

Just a guess but have you tried it with the chip out?

Probably not the same, but my Ducati was doing the same thing, exactly how you describe it. I tried eveything myself, battery, fuel pump, etc. Finally, took it to the dealer, just to learn there was a loose connecter to the starter.

After you drive and let it sit for a minute it makes it hard starting right?


If so replace entire fuel pump that is what I made Ford do on my 03 Cobra and it went away. The pressure was bleeding off fast after I let it sit for a minute or so.

Good luck

I experienced the same problem with a '90 F150 and it turned out to be a fuel pump relay of some kind. The dealer replaced the relay and I never had the problem again.

Corrosion on the terminals for the battery or solenoid?
