Will not start after it gets operating temp
90 F-250 351w 4x4 (149,000 miles) will not start after it gets at operating temp..It turns over really slow if turns over any...Bought new stater and coil...battery is fine.. wrapped starter to keep it from getting hot and put a shield in between starter and exhauts...Going to store to get rotor and cap now..also think I'm going to get capacitor thats off from the coil...looks like it never been changed..
dunno what else it can be..

Check both battery wires for signs of burning or corrosion under the insulation at the ends and make sure the grounds are tight.
I would also think about checking the fuel pressure. Do you smell any gas in the engine oil?

I had the same problem several years ago when my battery was getting weak. You can test this by using jumper cables when you experience the slow turn condition. If the starter spins faster and your battery is several years old, it may be time for a new one.
