Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

When the car is warm or hot it has trouble cranking over, almost like the compression is higher. No issues with battery & no codes. Any idea's?

POST 2Original post

The compression isn't higher, the starter motor torque is lower. Bad starter or bad cables/connections can often cause this symptom. It mostly happens when hot since the electrical resistance goes up with temperature; high temp => high resistance => low current => low starter torque=> engine barely turns over.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yep that sounds like it. I'll check the cables & connections. Thanks for your help

POST 5Original post

I had the same issue and it ended up being the starter.

POST 6Original post

what happens is that the alternator/starter cable from factory goes bad internally it may look ok in the outside part...when this cable starts to fail it will ruin your starter. it makes your starter super hot and weak.
