    Post VR Slow cranking

    Hello
    The problem is when the Engine is Cold It cranks at normall Speed but As soon as it gets Hot It Only Just Starts Up, I took It Into a garage And They Checked The battery and Alt And The Battery And ALT Is All Okay..
    I was Told That There Might Be a Earthing Problem.. Dose anyone Know what i Could Try To sort This out??

    Thankyou

    I'd suggest that heat is getting into the wiring somewhere. apparently heat can degrade a wire's conductivity

    wavez - change your voltage regulator

    Sounds like the heat from the exhaust is getting into the starter motor solenoid, and giving you problems.

    yeh for some reason im getting cold - fast and hot - slow untill my fan comes on and makes it cold so i go fast. hmmm i think my fan is dead 2 coz it heats up past half way prob 2 lines from half way i go to take off and i feel like there s huge lag spot and im loosing power.

    Could be the coolant temp sender for the high temp reading, check codes...
    Thermostat,water pump worn? check connections on the fan and the relay.
    Maybe swap it around with some other one.

    This may not be the same prob but my old XD used to do the same . I had an auto elec wire up a relay to the starter motor which solved the problem

    Sounds like your starter motor is on its way out - either brushes worn and/or bearings dry. They slow down when hot due to internal electrical resistance being greater than when cold.
