I am having a similar problem and suspect its the solonoid, but.....when the motor is hot and is turned off, it won't restart until it cools down. Turning the key only gets perhaps a very slow half revolution from the engine (as you would with a dead battery). The cable to the solonoid is too hot to touch. Once the cable cools, the motor starts. The "hot" cable seems to indicate that the solonoid is sticking, but I'm not sure. The solonoid is 6" from the headers and the problem seems to be related to how hot it is outside (and these days that's at least 90 degrees). Any suggestions would be appreciated, if I can't trust it to start, can't trust it enough to go very far from home.
