Starting problems.
After cruising in my car, and turning it off, the car won't start. I crank, but the car makes 0 noises. I replaced the starter and put a heat shield on it. Still have the problem, if not worse now. What wires, sensors, and other things could I check that would be attributed to this hot start problem?

I've experienced, with different vehicles, that when the module gets hot, it won't start untill the module cools down. Some kind of breakdown in the internal electronics. It's cheap enough, so replace it.

the starter not turning over has nothing to do with the ignition module or any distributor part. if you had not already replaced the starter i would say it's the solenoid. but since that isn't the case. you need to check all the wiring connections. something is loosing ground when it gets heated up.

the only time i've ever experienced what your describing it was a bad solenoid. since that isn't the case. i would start tightening all the wire connections like the battery ground on the engine and body. the hot lead that connects to the alternator and such. Sick

Sick makes a good point here, but while you're at it, take it a step further and check the wires for continuity, and clean any dirty connections with a wire brush and some baking soda and water.

No. If the module is bad, the car simply won't fire, but it cranks. It will just crank and crank. I've had like 10 modules go out. That's a different story. I think....
