I had the opposite problem. My 1986 Isuzu trooper diesel would not start if the engine was hot. And I am not talking about simply up to operating temperature. I’m talking towing trailers up the mountain in the summer kind of hot.   The truck would not start without resting for a good 10 to 20 minutes. I did finally diagnose it:  The solenoid was fine but the the actuator would get stuck when the engine was at top operating temp. Only happened like three or four times.

My use of the truck changed and I never pushed it very hard for the last five years I owned it and it never happened again.
