when i aquired the car it was doing this,hard starting when warm,i thought a head gasket was leaking and filling the cylinder up with coolant and causing it to crank over slow and hydrolock,it almost as if one cylinder is getting to advanced of a spark timing .
im use to running a old carb v-8 and if i had this problem on one of those i would retard the timing some.
i did a timing checkon the sc and found that i am at 20 degrees btdc which was correct.
i have all new ground and power wires,starter and selonoid on the firewall,all new from ford (not some cheap advance auto parts stuff)
i have burnt up at least 3 new starters from ford so i dont think that the battery cables are the culprit.
i run 93 octane in it all the time and rarely ever drive it with more than 3/4 gas pedal to the floor. once i get it to start it runs great no problems,no vacum leaks
i know that my pistons are not smacking valves or spark plugs.
if i jump the relay on the fenderwell or on the starter it self i still have the problem.
also it is an automatic transmission
any other description yall mite need to help me
this sc is starting to be a pain in my butt,i have put more money in to the sc than i have my 13 second v8 tbird
