When the starter acted up the first time after being heat soaked I went through the system and:
  • Removed and cleaned both ends of the battery ground wire and wire brushed the body connection point
  • Removed and replaced the transaxle ground wire and wire brushed both connection points
  • removed and wire brushed the power wire to the starter and connection terminals

Not a care in the world until I did a full road trip of 12 hours, then it did the 'click - no start' again. I promised I would replace the starter if it happened again, so I did. One thing I'm not sure about is if the original crimped end is there, I'm not sure if the wire is original, but the crimp does appear solid.
