Claus, I will type in caps so to clarify, NOT as I am yelling. You have a valid point that worked for you, But I think you only "put a band aid" on it as I think you will find you have a bad starter. ..Anyways here goes...

-Solution that is proven and tested : use a remote solenoid. NOT ON THE MANY CARS I TRIED.
-Does it work now, when warm? Yes.. NO! ...NOT ON ALL.
Does the starter try to turn the engine? No? Solenoid or bad starter. OR MANY OTHER ISSUES AS WELL...BATTERY, CABLES, GROUND, ECT....
In this case it's hardly a bad starter, as it works when cold. NO THAT IS NOT THE CASE,WHEN THE STARTER GETS SOO HOT IT WILL NOT TURN OVER THE ENGINE ..ALTHOUGH WHEN COOLED OFF IT WILL..
Case closed.
NOT YET. ALTHOUGH I AM GLAD YOUR CAR IS WORKING FINE...I ACTUALLY BOUGHT A REMOTE SOLENOID FROM SUMMIT FOR MY RAM AIR BIRD...IT DID NOT HELP...WOULD YOU LIKE IT?..I THREW IT IN THE TOOL BOX TO GIVE TO A FORD FRIEND OF MINE.
