intermittant no start

when my motor gets hot(above 200 or so), if I shut the car down and wait a few minutes, then go to turn the key to start, nothing will happen. No click, nothing. I'm able to jump the starter soleniod with a jumper wire, so the starter is good. Has anyone else had this problem and solved it? If it's not the solenoid wire, what else could it be?

Make sure the ground are all good and clean and intact. Weak grounds can cause this.

What kind of car is it? Does it have a VATS system? If so, check the post close to yours for" Car won't start-Help"

Sounds like starter heak soak to me. My 92 Formula had this problem and tried virtually anything. Then I pulled the starter. My starter actually showed signs of warping. Plus if its the original starter and you have over 100k, its probably just plain worn out. I've noticed that after 100k f-bodies start having some starter problems. Luckily starters are pretty cheap. Though it would invest in a heat shield.
