Something not mentioned by others is the positive battery cable. With my 84 F250, I had a hot start problem for a while. It would start fine cold, even down below zero, but if the engine was hot and it sat for 10 or 15 minutes, the engine would not turn over until it cooled down again. I tried a new starter and a new solenoid, with no improvement. But then I changed the positive battery cable, and discovered that was the problem. I cut into the old cable, which looked perfect from the outside, no bulging or discoloration of the insulation, and found that the insulation was full of blue powder and only a few strands of copper wire were still carrying electricity. Apparently there was enough capacity to turn the engine over when it was cold with those few wires, but when the engine was heat soaked, there just was not enough capacity.
I spent a lot more money figuring out the problem than I really needed to. Now anytime I have a problem with an engine turning over, I start with charging the battery, but then check the cables.
