Nova won’t start when hot – heat soak
I’ve noticed that when the car is cold it will fire right up. However, when the car is hot all I get from the starter is a clicking noise. This is only if I’ve driven, then parked for a few minutes and tried to start it back up. Like going to the store or going to get gas. But if the car has had enough time to cool down then it will start up just fine. I did some research on Steve’s Nova Site and found out it’s called heat soak. So I ordered a heat shield for the starter in hopes that it will block enough of the heat to
Starter Heat Shield: Thermo-Tec THE-14150
I’m also moving and wanted to top off the leaky transmission so I bought some more transmission fluid and will top it off. I need to take it in and see if I can get that fixed so I don’t have to worry about it anymore.
Transmission Fluid: Dexron-III/Mercon
