Difficult starting when warm.
Ace2600:
Got an 83 with a TF998, besides the disconnected vacuum lines and the Carter, car tends to start well. But once its run for a while, and gotten warm, if I turn it off and try to start it again, it cranks like its lacking power and hesitates between cranks. its acting like some thing heating up, or a bad ground. What should my next move be?

Not really enough to go on.
AMC of Houston:
Might be a hot starter drag. Check the amp draw on the starter when hot. If it pegs the amp gauge, or the battery cable to the starter gets real hot; may be bad starter or battery cable. Could also be a solenoid issue; but sounds to me more like a starter issue.
mudkicker715:
AMC O. H. You deserve a raise. I was lazy on my post, but thought the same kind of thinking.
AMC of Houston:
It was on my mind - just finished a starter job on a friend's BMW for the same issue. What a PITA that was - had to remove the intake manifold to get to the starter! German engineering at its best! I'll take my AMC's any day.
