ok here it is....I have a 1993 5.0 coupe, my problem is that when I run my car to a good temperature, and then shut if off and come back a few minutes later it doesn't want to start.... it makes a loud streching noise that comes from the starter....it's not till it cools down some it'll turn over.

Now this is what I've done....I have replaced the starter twice to oems (brand new), bought a brand new mini starter and wrapped it with a a heat wrap and still the same problem...replaced the solinoid and the wiring that runs to the starter...still the same thing...and replace both battery cables still the same. The alternator is getting a charge and the battery is good.

I just don't know what else to do...if anybody knows or has had this problem...I would love to get some advice on how to get fix my problem

Have you looked into the ignition wiring or the ignition switch. It sounds like something is getting to hot like your wiring or your ignition switch. Not the switch you turn and start the car with but the one that sends fire to your system when your key is turned.

What do your grounds look like? Replace your grounds and add an extra one(engine to chassis). Make sure when you add you have metal to metal contact. Use a piece of sandpaper and scuff the contact areas( both engine and chassis).
