Ok seems like every time I post on here no one can help me out.... well here we go again.
I have a 2000 GT 5spd. Resently I supercharged it along with already having some other modifcations. When I got the car back after it got blown it wouldn't start about 3/4 the times. Later I found out the starter wires were alittle loose. Fixed that. Now the car isn't starting again. I figured the wires were loose again or somthing. When I went to check everything seemed tight. Put the car away for the night. Went to just check my luck this morning and it started right up. Pulled it out of storage shut it off at the top of a little hill (incase I had to pushstart it). Shut it off fired right up. drove it around awhile got some motor temp. Stop at a friends house for awhile and went to leave and the car wouldn't start. Push started with no problems. Took it home. Shut it off and it started back up. So I went out driving again. shut it on and off several times while I was out driving and had no problems. Then out of no where the car wouldn't start again. And I havn't been able to start it again. Tried 3 times. I'm going to let it cool down a bit and try again.

The car has a Stage 2 Procharger with a 3 core intercooler, Full length headers.

Think the heat might be messing with the starter?
Maby header rap and starter rap would fix it??

Any ideas comments or solutions would be very helpfull at this point.

Did you get it tuned? Maybe there is a problem with that. Does it just turn over and not start or does it kinda cough and sputter? If it coughs and sputters then it is the fuel pump and or relay.
