I need some advice about a starting problem that I'm having with a 1980
Olds Delta 88. Whenever the outside temperature is moderate (60 - 70)
and the engine has been running long enough to reach normal temperature,
if I turn the engine off and try to restart it 5 - 10 minutes later, the
starter can just barely turn the engine over. If I turn the ignition off
at this point and try to start the car again, the engine usually turns right
over. This symptom of the sluggish start does not happen all the time; the
engine usually turns over immediately.

There is no problem starting the car in the morning. The battery checks
out fine. Any ideas?
