When its hot, and not starting, I assume it cranks but doesn't fire?

Next time, turn the ignition on, but dont start.. see if you can hear the fuel pump cycle. If not, it could be fuel pump relay, or pump issues. Just a thought.

Mine does this because the starter is getting heat soaked. I'll be upgrading to a high torque mini start and wrap it with a heat shield.
