what causes a motor not to restart until it cools down after it heats up?

Asked by Darrylick Jun 06, 2015 at 11:22 PM about the 1987 Ford F-150 STD Standard Cab SB

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

my truck will start with no problem, I can drive it as long as I want but when I shut it off and try to restart the motor it will do nothing ( no slow crank or nothing )  until the motor completely cools off and then it will start back up with no issues.  What is causing this?

just went through that with my s10 blazer ,, changed the starter and it was ok for awhile ,,ended up putting the heat shield back on that fell off between the starter and manifold .. its fine now ...
