'90 z28 RS (Warm) Start Issue

OK This has been a long time problem that I decided to just deal with, but lately it's been exceeding frustrating... Sooo My '90 z28 RS Camaro Will start up fine but once I have driven long enough that the engine reaches normal running tempature, If I turn it off It will not start back up until the engine has cooled (usually takes 45min to an hour) I have also noticed that it will take conciderably longer if I keep trying to start it every few minutes. It wont even try to turn over when I turn the key. When It is first turned off and I try to start it nothing at all happens, but after I wait about 20 minutes and try to start it I hear a faint click and under the hood on top of the engine (sorry i dont know the technical terms) there is a constant repetitive clicking sound whenever the key is turned. Advice Is Greatly Needed and Apprishiated

Re: '90 z28 RS (Warm) Start Issue

My 95 chevy lumina APV mini van does something similiar. I'm not a mechanic, but my dad is and he said "There is a grimlin in the distributor." Sometimes if you wiggle the distributor on my van it will fire right up.

I don't know though wait until someone more knowledgeable replies.

Bingo! Next time it does that, have someone try to start the car while you slide under it with a hammer and whack the starter a couple times. If it starts right up, change the starter.

Bad starter solenoid, can't stay engaged.
