Starting issues

Hey guys need some help. I replaced my intake gaskets last week all went well with that. Now I'm having starting issues. I have noticed that it occurs when the car is hot. There is no click or attempt for the starter to engage. I can wait five minutes or thirty just depends on whatever is causing the issue. I have added a ground from the motor to the frame just in case it's a ground issue. I replaced the starter relay as well. None of this has helped. There is power in the car when the switch is on. I have looped the clutch starting switch, and the security is disabled. So has anyone ever had this issue or be able to point me in the right direction. My next step is to remove the starter and have it checked.

Re: Starting issues

Thanks will do. The starter has been on there for several years. Just found it odd to all the sudden start this after I did all that other work.
