Motor Growns

The truck always starts sluggishly after its warm, what does that mean? Also smell burnt coolant.

Do you mean the engine turns over slowly?
Or that it turns over quickly, but will not fire well?
Does it hard start only when hot?

Your description sort of fits both, but the exact symptoms have different sources, and thus different fixes.

Sounds like a weak starter or a battery getting old.

The motor turns over slowly, with plenty of juice behind it. The battery is new and strong, the starter seems to be the culprit.
