Turns out it was the cable to the starter or the wiring harness according to my Indy
Leading evidence: 'cable' (1 discussions report identifying this cause; no attributable repair resolution). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'cable' (1 discussions; 1 report identifying it and 0 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Replace starter' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

I replaced my starter when it started doing that and never a problem since.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So when I start my car in the morning it starts just fine. Go for a 40 min drive , let the car sit for 5 minutes and it turns over really slowly , sumtimes won't start at all. It always start eventually after the car has been sitting for 30 or more minutes,
The reading on dash is usually close to 14 when car is running .
The guy I bought the car from almost 2 years ago said it had new battery , I do believe but its always turned over slowly ,
Sitting in the car right now at airport waiting for girlfriend to land, I'm on my phone but I was just stranded at the beer store for 25minutes until it started
After engine is fully warmed up at idle, if you turn on the low beam and the a/c, does the voltage drop below 13v? If it does, there's a good chance your starter y-cable or grond cable is bad.
How's your engine temperature and are you sure both of your cooling fans are running when the DME activates them, both at low and high speeds? There is at one case the where the fans are not working properly and that makes the starter too hot and it seizes.
Another possibility of course is the starter itself.
Starter is going bad. I replaced my starter when it started doing that and never a problem since. A two year old battery is also closing in on the end of service, but in this case it is your starter.
There was just a post a few weeks ago with a bad cable leading to the starter. It had a high resistance connection right at the starter, so when it's cold, it's not big deal, doesn't drop much voltage, the car starts right up. But after it heats up it has a high resistance and drops too much voltage and the car won't start.
The only way to inspect as I recall is to cut back the insulation.
