starter heat soak

[bi19tri]

Are ford starters prone to heat soak issues?

The earlier aero fox ones with aftermarket headers can be. Ford went with a smaller starter in about 92 or so.

An aftermarket or 94-95 starter is a nice upgrade if your starter is long in the tooth.

Good luck.

What kind of problem are you having?

 

[dastang2]

all starters can get like that with exhaust right next to it.

I had a heat soak issue on my 88 when I had that stock starter. If I drove around for a while and then shut my car off it would have a real hard time cranking up again. It almost seemed like the battery was dead. But if i let the car cool down, it was fine. Replaced it with a high torque mini starter and the problems went away.

Are you running long-tube headers? If so, then "yes".
