Need advise - I can't start my car during hot engine condition

[TomicaGTR]

Hi sifus and frens,

I have problem with my car cannot start when it's in hot engine condition. I can't even crank the engine during start up. For example, after going through massive traffic jam or left idling for long time. Initially i thought it was due to battery weak but after replace to new one problem still there. I need to wait for about 2 hours then i can only start my car. I did monitor the battery during driving and it maintains at 13.8 volt. Just puzzling what is actually the cause of the problem. Appreciate for any advise and thanks in advance.

sounds like a starter problem sir

Thanks bro. By the way, does the starter is serviceable or need to replace new? :stupid:

its easier to change the whole thing, but u can service it if a replacement unit is hard to come by

u can use a hammer to softly knock knock the starter, then see it can start or not...
it worked on my previous honda, not sure evo can or not. so that can confirm the starter problem.

some time faulty relay can give problem like this. the faulty relay does not work during hot.
you can try to check the starter relay (i am not sure where it is though).

hi...may i know what car are you driving?

it could be a faulty coolant temperature sensor...my friend had the same problem

get it scan with a obd tool to confirm...

u could change the starter carbon brush inside it, but not many mechs are willing to do it.....
costs bout rm60 including workmanship.

The wshop guy has taken out and not to say service but just clean the starter from carbon but still doesn't work. Maybe can try on relay then. Thanks bro!!
