Default 1988 Honda Civic....car starts fine, but after running it 1/2 hour or more, then turning it off,?
car will NOT turn opver for quite a while, like maybe 20 minutes or more. Someone recently said it was a bad solonoid in the starter and the starter had to be replaced. Is this true?

Something's heating up in that 20 minutes that has to cool down before it starts again.

The starter motor has an armature; I had a similar problem. Armature overheats, expands, and will not turn easily. Replace the starter. Get a new one, not one from a junkyard or you might have the same problem soon.
