Trofeo intermittent start problem
Starts fine in AM, no start (no click, nothing) immediately after shutdown. Sometimes starts about one hour later w/o jump, sometimes requires jump. Battery tests good, replaced starter solenoid but solenoid still clicks occasionally. Ideas?

Do you have a service manual for that car? You would have to isolate the circuit and track down the problem.

Sounds like high resistance problem, with heat added to the mix increases the resistance, what it is for sure? Question for you, is the starter easy to access, if so when you have a no crank, hook a remote start switch to the battery terminal and start terminal on the solenoid and try to crank it with switch alone, this will eliminate starter, solenoid and battery cables, if it cranks with the switch.

Starter connections are good, cables seem to be ok. Wouldn't do diddly poo at around seven this evening...went out at 10:30 and got a couple of clicks then a start...stopped at QT and the old radar detector (divorced display like a Valentine V1) chirped to life (it stopped working after I went under the dash to replace the flasher cans)...got home and shut down, recranked four times with no issues...wondering if I fricked something up under the dash?
I can't wait to get back to work so I can finish buying my '64 D88 and have something SIMPLE to drive!!
