Need some help
Ok so I got a 99 coup 6spd a few days ago and today Im having a starting problem, when the car is colded the car start up fine but after I drive it a little and shut it off and try to restart it willnt start up but if I let it sit for a little bit it will fire up. So my question is the car has header so can they be over heating the starter and is the starter junk now that it's doing this? because it doesnt look fun to change!

I had that exact issue many years ago with a Pontiac Gran Prix. The starter bearings were shot, which caused the armature to drag on the casing when it was hot. Don't wait on fixing this as it'll trash your battery and possibly the alternator.

Might want to do a little troubleshooting before you just go replacing parts. Battery condition, connections, ect..............Have you pulled the codes?
