Will not start when hot

Replaced starter with brand new one. cranks over just fine. When i drive the car up to temperature for atleast ten minutes and shut it off, it will start immediately once i shut it off, But if i let it heat soak for atleast 5 minutes, i will attempt to start it, but all i get is the relay click and the solenoid click, no crank condition. The relay is getting 12v, i've tried bypassing the relay with 12v, and it will only click.

once the car cools down, it will start fine. If i bypass the relay with 12v when it is cold, it will start. The heat shield is in place below the exhaust manifold. Is there an after market heat shield or anything to install to prevent the starter from getting hot and not starting?

We have a 2002 Grand Cherokee that we have just bought. Dealer installed a brand new battery because of sluggish starts. In a week the battery is acting weak again, sometimes it starts fine, other times...

I was having the same issue with my 95 GMC. I replaced the battery and alternator. It would start fine at times, at other times it would be sluggish. I finally took the starter off and had it checked. Turns out the starter was bad. When it would get hot, it would act as though the battery was dead. Replaced the starter and it has not acted up again. Have the starter checked. Replace if bad.
