Welcome to iRV2, we're really glad to have you here as a new member and are looking forward to reading your posts about your RVing experiences and adventures. You'll find a great bunch of folks on this site who are very knowledgeable of RVing, the rigs we use, and the places we go in them.

As you'll see, they're eager to help and share their knowledge and experiences with others.

Maybe 'heat soak' in the starter is your problem? Is the exhaust manifold or pipes in close proximity to it?

Again, welcome to iRV2, we're glad you joined.

The first thing I would check is the starter relay mounted on passenger side of firewall. Access via engine cover. There could be several other causes but relays have been a troublsome part and are an inexpensive fix. If you want to try a shadetree diagnostic, tap it with a non-conductive tool when the problem occurs. Sometimes, just cycling the key several times can work.

Welcome TG Mcree toirv2.

Besides what has already been said check your battery and ground leads from your chassis battery and a ground strap from engine to frame of chassis.
Enjoy the forums and do post often.

Let us know how you made out.

Sounds like a timing problem....indicating too much advance....maybe something with the sensors giving false information to the computer...not like the old days of just turning the distributor back some.

When trying to start it does anything happen or do you hear anything? Clicking from the solenoid, engine cranking just too slow, dash lights go to bulb check as normal? As Capt. Flipper and "007" stated check the solenoid and cables. I also would thy shifting the trans to neutral, parking brake on, and trying again because the neutral safety switch could be the problem. Also the starter if it has a bad "shorted" armature will often work good cold but wont work when hot.
