Ford Repair: 1994 F-150 King Cab - wont start when hot, ford f 150, quality cables


Question
My 1994 Ford F-150 Supercab starts good when its cold. After I drive it to work though which is about 5 miles it won't start if I try to start it right after I park it. After it sits a while it starts up great. Have had the electrical system inspected, battery is new. The truck runs fine when it's lit.  

What do you think causes this problem of not starting when warmed up?

Answer
if the engine is turning over slow sounds like a connection or starter problem-make sure cables including ground to block are tight
grounds are often overlooked and they are just as important as positive cables-if they are good (also make sure good quality cables)
then you probably have a starter drawing to much-

if it is spinning over good just won't start could be module or pickup coil (located in distributor)-really would need to know if no spark or no fuel causing problem.
