Ok so I have a new battery and I just replaced all the new battery cables today, but it still has a hot start problem. My guess is that the timing may be a small issue to the problem, but my guess is it needs a new high torque starter. Any recommendations on what kind to get and where I could get one quick and cheap! Thanks!
