i have an 83 z28 camaro. 305 with 4 bbl carb. was just rebuilt and i think im having heat soak problems maybe others. car usually starts fine in morning. one or twice it did what im about to explain. usually once its hot, when i turn the key, nothing. no click no turn. so i figured it was heat soak. i bought a new remanufactured starter, and it seemed to work better, but still had the problem time to time. just put on a heat wrap that wraps around the starter. still doing it. i also have a ford remote solenoid mounted next to my battery, but that didnt work either, so now its hooked back up to chevy solenoid on starter. when the ford solenoid was on i had it hooked up as followed. + bat cable going to side a of solenoid, and bat cable going from side b to starter batt. post. have the other wire that was on batt. post on side a of solenoid. s wire was put onto the s terminal of ford solenoid, and on chevy solenoid a jumper wire going from batt post to s terminal post. this only worked far about an hour. then when i turned key, ford solenoid clicked but no turning. what could it possibly be? to small of wires? bad connections? jumper wire to small? ignition problem?

 

Your cables may be cooked.

 

battery cable or s wire

 

I had a REBUILT starter put into my 1991 Formula 350 and had the unit replaced twice within a couple of weeks because it would develop a DEAD SPOT after if ran for awhile. Let it sit for about an hour and it would start fine. I finally got a BRAND NEW starter installed at the same shop and have not had a single problem after that. Spend the money and get a quality BRAND NEW starter and see if that works for you.

 

well the lights dont dim when trying to start the car when it wont start, but radio turns off and wipers do too.
