Starting Issue

So,

Just lately I my GT350R has developed a intermittent starting issue. The battery checks good, once started voltage come right up to 13.5. But, every once in awhile nothing...car will not start. Push the start button, can hear fuel pump prime, accessory lights and everything comes on but, no start. Come back later or keep trying and the car starts. Just got back from Ford this AM diagnostically nothing wrong and electrical system checks out. Fruition’s!!

Has anyone else run into this issue?

Thanks,
 
Steveespo....I don’t know how the hell you knew exactly what was going on with my car but....you knew exactly what was going on with my car. Car was under warranty so Ford just replaced the starter. The mechanic that did the work verified that the internal soldered joints were bad. Thanks for the help!

All thanks should go to @BlackBoss , who I have spent many track days push starting his fleet of GT350Rs due to this problem. But seriously, this is why we have a forum that takes every problem seriously. No one will shoot you down for asking a question that has been asked before, they will just lead you to the posts with the answers.
