Starter "heat soak"
Ok, so we all know about heat soak in starter motor prevent the engine from turning over when hot. Which i already read some post of how that work or happens. But what I don't understand is how does a hot starter motor solenoid or "heat soak" shuts off the engine while driving? Can anyone tell me how this happens.

Re: Starter "heat soak"
Ok, yeah I am comfused. I would drive my car for 20 to 30 minutes and car would shut off, I would a tempt to fire it up and nothing happens. I try again after 10 minutes and it would start right away. I did replaced the big starter motor with a mini powermaster starter, and drove it an hour and It hasn't shut off me again. So I'm not sure what the problem was. All I know is the car runs great again

I suppose you might have had a heat induced poor connection to one of the fusible links coming off the starter solenoid supply. But barring that you probably have an intermittent spark or fuel delivery like Tuned Performance suggests. Be on the lookout for the stalling issue to return at some point.

If it continues to die when it warms up. I'd check your ICM as stated above. Or ignition coil. A loss of spark will shut down your engine right away. Unless by "nothing happens" on a restart you mean it won't even crank. Than I would def look at the starter or wiring.
