Hot start problem
Sorry, didn't see the responses. Timing is about 10 degrees advanced- battery is in good shape-about a year old- I swapped it in from another vehicle so I know the history.
Thanks so much for the replies and info- I'll definitely report once I get the new starter in.
Worst case now I guess would be to get a new relay if the problem persists, but I'll see first how that new starter goes.
