Thinking of the recent post where a car wouldn't start when hot, a recent
tip in Mac's Mustang Parts reads like this...
"Did you know that battery cables literally wear out? Years of
temperature extremes and exposure to toxic battery fumes that leak from the
case
around the battery posts can cause corrosion to seep up underneath the
insulation & wick its way up into the coper wiring. This of course, increases
the
resistance of the cable which reduces the amount of voltage that can travel
thru the wire to & from the battery.
This is a very common cause of car that won't start when the engine is hot
from being driven. If the battery cables on your Mustang..........."
Guess I still don't understand the logic of why it would affect the car
more when the engine is hot.
