My pickup after driving for about 8 miles won't start again without letting it set for about 10 minutes.
I think its a electronic module.
do u have any idea if not that?

Does it turn over if you bypass the starter? If so then its the armiture in the starter check the brushes and use emery cloth to clean off the armiture

I have a 351 windsor and after we drive it for 8 miles and shut it off it will not start again until it cools off.
It cranks over like its trying to start but won't. I don't know if its the starter or the electronic module. But it starts great when its cold and as long as I leave it run after it starts it stays running.
I have left it run for an hour one time moving stuff.
Runs great till u shut it off.

Will it start with a boost? If so then that means its a plate in the battery that has sulfated
