samsnz Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 my old corona running 3t wont turn over after the engine is hot. it starts first pop from cold but once the engine has been running the car wont turn over again.i recently got the starter motor fully refit professionally but before long the problem began to occur again. i have checked and cleaned all the terminals for the starter and wired a bigger earth for my battery in case the draw is higher now also but to no avail. the dash lights dim when the key is turned so i think my ignition is working ok i also have an after market immobilizer installed which seems to cut and restore the ignition ok but i cant be sure really. i am leaning towards the immobilzer side of things as its the only variable i cant really be sure is working correctly. any ideas?

DB8-TypeR Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Is the starter solenoid engaging at the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsnz Posted March 7, 2015 Author Share Posted March 7, 2015 i think i can hear it trying to click on and off with the key but cant tell if its engaging correctly or if its stuck or what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datlow Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Can you hot wire it when it's hot? That way your bypassing all the variables to see if it's the starter or not, tho could be your battery still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mof Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 ^run one side of a jumper lead directly from batt positive to starter solenoid and small solenoid trigger wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Replace engine earth, body earth and power feed to starter. Also check wire to solenoid. I had similar issues with my coon when the wire to solenoid was shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmatt4 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 voltage drop in the start wire ? sure they run down beside the battery cable check voltage to that wire under crank should be no less than 9 volts if so fit relay to that wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The thing is..the earths and the main cable to starter are fuckin easy ans cheap to replace.. So do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsnz Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 ive re done the earth and im pretty positive (ha) its not the battery as its less than 3 months old. and its pretty big for the job it does. ill look into main power and switch/signal next. i just dont get why it turns over first pop when its dead cold, but as soon as the engine is warm starter says no.

h4nd Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Thermal expansion in a connector etc miiiiight cause the symptoms, but the suggestions above are a good bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingbrick Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 My coon only struggled when hot. Fuck it was embarrassing. It would always fuck out at the WORST times. Damn crimp was bad on solenoid wire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
