Re: Long shot

I'm VERY confident that if a slave solenoid had been installed on the car, the hot restart problem would have been solved.
GM "denied the existence" of this problem for years. However, when the problem became rampant in some motor homes with GM chassis and with, in particular, big block engines, they "quietly" added the slave solenoid to the electrical system. Curiously, this solved the problem 100%. However, as far as I know, they never added the slave solenoid to passenger cars. They said something like the heat-induced, hot restart problem was "unique to motor home chassis". Myself and a lot of other folks know better.
Slave solenoids are easy to find. It's exactly the same as the remote solenoid used on many Ford cars of old (12v system, of course). You can also purchase kits which include a solenoid, all the wiring, and installation instructions. You can even buy one from GM (who says that you don't need one) under GM #1114532.
