This season, my 2006 Z06 has had trouble starting when it is up to temperature (and it gets worse when it is hot outside).
When the car is cold, it starts up no problem, but when I'm doing multiple starts/stops (errands, etc), it can actually get to the point where it won't start.
Has anyone come across this?_ If so, please share how you solved it.
One thing I have heard is that it could be the starter motor, somehow getting worn or increasing friction when it is warm.
It's not the battery, not the alternator._
I have had both tested, and they are in perfect shape.__
When I thought it might have been one of those issues, I was putting a trickle charger on between using it. However, it wasn't the extra charge it needed, it just needed to cool down.
When I had the battery and alternator tested after the car wouldn't start, I left it for an hour, and it started (with a little hesitation since it was still a bit warm).
Any thoughts/tips would be appreciated.
