Solution - Cable tie it in the UP position and never have the issue again - Worthwhile checking  |
Could be this, especially if you have headers as the backdrive wont work with them in place. If that is the problem, a simple wiggle to the collar on the column should fix that. More likely heat soak though, if it 'fixes itself' with a bit of a cool down. I had the same problem with the stock starter (along with most everyone else). I tried the insulator blanket first and it did nothing. I put in a mini starter and have not had a problem since. I got mine from Summit and hate to read they have problems, so know I guess I have that to worry about!
