Heres the deal, I can go outside after the car has been sitting all night. She'll fire right up. But after I let her warm up and drive around. Come back, try to start it and it wont start. It'll just keep cranking and cranking. It normally starts after a bunch of tries.
92 DOHC
Here are the things I've changed so far.
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires
Distributor
Distributor rotor and cap
Ignition Coil
battery
Added another ground for the battery
Check the timing
Hopefully someone can help me out. It sucks to sit there and struggle to start my car everywhere I go. The biggest clue I can give you guys is that it starts fine when cold, but crappy when warm. Thanks

have you checked the alternator, it would make sense if you think about it...it sits all night so the batter has time to sit but after you drive it its drained from all your car accesories...take it to a autozone so they can test it and see if its still good...im pretty damn sure thats whats wrong considering the list of things you have already changed...good luck

Wow... So much money you spent when the only problem with your car is a bad starter...
Buy a new starter and you've fixed your problem.
It also be your clutch interlock relay which you could replace or just jump.
But I'm near positive it's your starter. If it isn't starting take a blunt object and tap the starter a little bit then try to see if it starts.

coolant temp sensor is a possibility.
unplug it wait a few minutes maybe 2 at most. Then start it up.
Best to check codes if anything.

Nah, all stuff from the parts car and stuff friends had laying around.
Im ganna try the coolant temp sensor, then the starter.
If thats not it, I'll just wait for my SR.
