I have a 1985 Lincoln Mark VIII. The starter seemed to drag intermittently, then started to drag and bearly turn over the engine when trying to restart when hot. Ultimately it would not start at all when hot, and you'd have to wait
15-20 min's. The alt and battery are new, as is the waterpump, radiator & hoses. I took it to the shop, and was told the solenoid was bad & had it and the starter replaced. While it starts much quicker when cold, and you don't have to wait as long for it to cool down to resart, it still wont start when hot. ANY IDEAS????- posted
