Angry after car warms up , starter will not kick in

I tried dis connecting the battery for a bit to reset but no dice,seems when it warms up it does not want to start, starter does not engage at all, but when its cold the starter kicks in on many tries. I checked one of the fuses but seems ok but the fuse in the engine compartment is hard to check because its a square little box fuse or relay? any suggestion?

go get your starter tested. You will have to take it off but.. go get it tested.

Reseting the ECU will not help the starter. I doubt checking the fuses will help. The starting solenoid might be going. I would go get it tested. You'll most likely have to have it replaced or rebuilt. Goodluck.
