There are basically two types of solenoids, continuous duty and momentary duty. A momentary solenoid is built to operate for brief moments. A continuous duty solenoid is built to operate continually. If you use a momentary solenoid as a continuous solenoid it will heat up and eventually burn out.
Solenoid is getting hot from heat transfer. Wire in a remote solenoid.
There are many solenoids in many vehicles. The year, make and model and which solenoid info would help.
The solenoid in normally by the starter motor and is a relay so the starter switch does not conduct the full amps needed to turn the engine.
No if we are talking about the starter solenoid.
The word, 'Solenoid' defines a shape, which turns out to be cylinder-shaped. Solenoid is an adjective . . . that means that it modifies a noun. The noun in this case is coil: As in 'solenoid coil' which is cylinder-shaped. In a car, the solenoid coil, or just 'Solenoid' pulls in the electric contactor on a car's starter to turn the starter. After the car starts, the solenoid releases the contactor to where it will be ready for the next engine startup.
That solenoid is a momentary solenoid. If it is used constantly it will get hot.

I would check the starter solenoid before I investigated the starter - it's likely the cause. Have someone try starting the car hot while you measure the voltage between the starter side of the solenoid and negative - you should get battery voltage. If not, the problem is the solenoid (or somewhere before it, electrically).

Solenoid is not a word like hot or cold, slow or fast, etc. There is no opposite. That's like asking what is the opposite of a car.
I would like to buy a starter without a solenoid.
i assume this escort has a fender-mounted solenoid, and that you are actually bypassing the solenoid with your jumper wire... replace the solenoid!AnswerI've had a similar problem, I could turn my key but it would not start. So we ran a hot lead to the solenoid from the battery, put a push button into the circuit and when I turned the key to the on position and pushed the button it starts. My original problem was the ignition switch was bad. Also my solenoid was on my starter not on the firewall. hope this might help Answereither bad switch or solenoid. less likely is bad wires
If your speaking of the starter solenoid, it is mounted directly to the starter. The starter would have to be removed in order to replace the solenoid.
THE brightness would decrease as solenoid would have some resistance.
If you are running a remote start solenoid, which is completely away from the engine heat, and still having problems I doubt that the Corvette solenoid will make much difference. One other thing to check is your initial timing. If your timing is advanced a little too far it can cause these same symptoms. Before changing out that solenoid again or spending more cash dial back your timing a few degrees. See if the hot start problem is still there. It's free and would only take a couple of minutes to check. If the problem is still there you might want to check or replace the starter itself.
The wire from the battery to solenoid is corroded & should be replaced.
