The wiring is all fresh, and the starting circuit is probably overkill. No, I have never checked for heat after starting but I will along with the connections again. FWIW the motor is now an LS3, and the same issue (I now realize) was happening with the old SBC. Cranking amps for the Braille are listed at 750, but I will get it checked. The starter never struggles, always fires right up.
I looked online and though I'm not familiar with the voltage filter Polous sells dc regulators for about $5 that have the rated milliamp output and will take 3v-18v and convert to steady 12v. That should work in theory, but it is another component that could fail. Tiny too, smaller than a postage stamp.
Aeromotive suggested a momentary button to cycle the signal to the controller after the engine starts. That resets it, and should definitely work, but I was hoping for a more "automatic" way of doing it and I don't want to add another relay.
