1992 chev k3500 when hot has trouble starting.
Not the coil, wouldn't affect or be affected by the slow starter. I would double check grounds and battery, starter, and alternator connections for a clean tight connection. I would be looking at doing voltage drop tests to look for high resistance in the start circuit.You may have to get under the dash and find the source of the smoke. Sometimes the back of the fuse panel where the wiring connects in will get so hot the plastic starts to melt. Then the wires and connections go bad, and you can even have current cross feeding into another circuit-like your wipers are doing. So I would pull off the fuse box and check for that. Keep looking for something that burned. It's got to be electrical.Starter and solenoid being only 2 years old, should be good. But if starter to battery positive post has no high resistance in that connection, and battery ground is known good, and if the small (?purple?) wire to starter solenoid has battery voltage or very close to it, when checked with a voltmeter while the key was held in crank, then you might want to have the starter taken off and tested. The solenoid will be tested as well. If when you checked the small wire to solenoid with key in crank, and had much less than battery voltage, like 5 or 6 volts, then problem is in start circuit between the ignition switch and the starter solenoid. Good luck. Let us know what you find out.

Recommend you troubleshoot the fuel system. Start with the fuel pump fuse and relay in the engine compartment relay box.
Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6022358-relay_check to check the relay and socket. If the relay is working, you can also check for voltage at the pump by removing the connector and testing it. If there is power to the pump but it isn't coming on, replace the pump. If the pump is coming on, the problem is the PCM. Let us know if you get stuck or have more questions.

sounds like you need to replace the board that the bulbs fit into
Truck will not start when we turn it over, but I
If you have a weak battery it may not be turning over fast enough to start. Or you key switch might be broken causing ht RUN connection to not connect when the key is in the Start position. When you turn the key to run it sends current to engine to keep it running. Whenyou turn it all the wya to start it
